firecrawl-build-search
Web search discovery and source ranking for query-driven workflows.
What it does
- the user asks a question and the product must discover sources first
- the feature needs current web results
- 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
- the feature needs current web results
- If the result page then requires clicks or form interaction, escalate to firecrawl-build-interact.
- Be explicit about whether the product needs snippets, URLs, or full result content.
