Summary

Web search with optional full-page content extraction from results.

  • Returns real search results as JSON with optional --scrape flag to fetch complete page markdown for each result, avoiding redundant fetches
  • Supports filtering by source type (web, images, news), category (GitHub, research, PDF), time range (past hour/day/week/month/year), location, and country
  • Use --limit to control result count and --scrape-formats to customize output formats when extracting full content
  • Part of a workflow escalation pattern: search first to discover URLs, then use dedicated scrape/map/crawl skills for deeper extraction
