What this skill does
firecrawl search Web search with optional content scraping. Returns search results as JSON, optionally with full page content. When to use You don't have a specific URL yet You need to find pages, answer questions, or discover sources First step in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact Quick start Options Option Description ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------- --limit <n> Max number of results --sources <web,images,news> Source types to search --categories <github,research,pdf> Filter by category --tbs <qdr:h\ d\ w\ m\ y> Time-based search filter --location Location for search results --country <code> Country code for search --scrape Also scrape full page content for each result --scrape-formats Formats when scraping (default: markdown) -o, --output <path> Output file path --json Output as JSON Tips --scrape fetches full content — don't re-scrape URLs from search results. This saves credits and avoids redundant fetches. Always write results to .firecrawl/ with -o to avoid context window bloat. Use jq to extract URLs or titles: jq -r '.data.web[].url' .firecrawl/search.json Naming convention: .firecrawl/search-{query}.json or .firecrawl/search-{query}-scraped.json See also firecrawl-scrape — scrape a specific URL firecrawl-map — discover URLs within a site firecrawl-crawl — bulk extract from a site
