---name: firecrawl-searchdescription: |  Web search with full page content extraction.

Returns real search results with optional full-page markdown — not just snippets. Provides capabilities beyond Claude's built-in WebSearch.allowed-tools:  - Bash(firecrawl *)  - Bash(npx firecrawl *)--- # 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](firecrawl-cli): search → scrape → map → crawl → interact ## Quick start ```bash# Basic searchfirecrawl search "your query" -o .firecrawl/result.json --json # Search and scrape full page content from resultsfirecrawl search "your query" --scrape -o .firecrawl/scraped.json --json # News from the past dayfirecrawl search "your query" --sources news --tbs qdr:d -o .firecrawl/news.json --json``` ## 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](../firecrawl-scrape/SKILL.md) — scrape a specific URL- [firecrawl-map](../firecrawl-map/SKILL.md) — discover URLs within a site- [firecrawl-crawl](../firecrawl-crawl/SKILL.md) — bulk extract from a site
