Search the web and get back ranked results with the page text already extracted, so there is no second call to fetch content. `query` is required. Returns `results[]` with `url`, `title`, `content` (the extracted excerpt), `score` and optionally `raw_content`, alongside `query`, `images`, `response_time` and `request_id`; set `include_answer` to also get a one-paragraph `answer`. Filter with `topic` (general/news/finance), `time_range` or explicit `start_date`/`end_date`, and trade cost against depth with `search_depth`. Measured at roughly 6 seconds for 2 results. This is the default choice for open-web research, and the only search here that returns ranked results and page text in one call. Reach past it when: you already know the URLs — `post_tavily_extract` is cheaper and exact; the query is a description rather than keywords — `post_exa_search` matches on meaning; you want a written answer rather than a list to iterate — `post_perplexity_sonar`; you want peer-reviewed papers — `post_scholar_search_scholar`.
