# Desearch Benchmark Questions
Fresh, self-contained benchmark questions for evaluating web and X (Twitter) search.
Regenerated daily from recent news and tweets. Each question is answerable from public
sources within a dated window — there are no answer keys or source URLs in the public data,
so systems have to actually search rather than recall.
## Subsets
| Path | Lane | Built from |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `questions/` | Web / news | Recent news articles (RSS + news sitemaps) |
| `x/` | X / Twitter | High-signal tweets from the past 24h |
Files are one per day: `<YYYY-MM-DD>.jsonl` (web) and `x-<YYYY-MM-DD>.jsonl` (X).
## Schema
Every row is source-free:
```json
{
"id": "…",
"question": "…",
"difficulty": "easy | medium | hard",
"start_date": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ",
"end_date": "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ"
}
```
`start_date`/`end_date` bound the window in which the question is answerable — use them as a
date filter when searching. Gold answers are kept private and are never uploaded.
## Loading
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
web = load_dataset("desearch/dataset", "web", split="train")
x = load_dataset("desearch/dataset", "x", split="train")
```
## Updates
Regenerated daily by an open-source generator (news twice daily, X once daily), so the set
grows one file per lane per day.
