What it does
Integrate Firecrawl `/search` into product code and agent workflows. Use when an app needs discovery before extraction, when the feature starts with a query instead of a URL, or when the system should search the web and optionally hydrate result content.
Firecrawl Build Search
Use this when the application starts with a query, not a URL.
Use This When
- 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
Default Recommendations
- Use
/searchfirst 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.
Common Product Patterns
- answer generation with cited sources
- company, competitor, or topic discovery
- research workflows that produce a shortlist of web pages before deeper extraction
- query-to-URL pipelines for later
/scrapeor/interact
Note that "research workflow" here means discovering web pages. If the product is searching published papers, that is a different surface, see the escalation rules below.
