Exa Search

Use Exa for source-first retrieval.

Prefer it when the task is about:

• official documentation
• API/reference pages
• pricing/plan details
• product/company pages
• extracting the text of a page instead of just finding the link
• expanding from one canonical page to similar pages

Do not default to Exa for:

• breaking news
• X/Twitter chatter
• live sentiment / fast-moving discourse
• broad real-time synthesis across many fresh sources

For those, prefer grok-search.
