firecrawl_search
Search the web for specific information and extract content from search results to find relevant data.
Instructions
Search the web and optionally extract content from search results.
Best for: Finding specific information across multiple websites, when you don't know which website has the information; when you need the most relevant content for a query. Not recommended for: When you already know which website to scrape (use scrape); when you need comprehensive coverage of a single website (use map or crawl). Common mistakes: Using crawl or map for open-ended questions (use search instead). Prompt Example: "Find the latest research papers on AI published in 2023." Usage Example:
{
"name": "firecrawl_search",
"arguments": {
"query": "latest AI research papers 2023",
"limit": 5,
"lang": "en",
"country": "us",
"scrapeOptions": {
"formats": ["markdown"],
"onlyMainContent": true
}
}
}Returns: Array of search results (with optional scraped content).
