  • you want to turn a search query into a shortlist of pages for later scraping
  • Use /search first when URL discovery is part of the product behavior.
  • Keep search and extraction conceptually separate unless scraping search results is clearly required.
  • Prefer selective follow-up extraction over broad hydration when cost or latency matters.
  • answer generation with cited sources

Requirements & configuration
