firecrawl search
Web search with optional content scraping. Returns search results as JSON, optionally with full page content.
When to use

- You need to find pages, answer questions, or discover sources
- First step in the workflow escalation pattern: search → scrape → map → crawl → interact

Tips
--scrapefetches full content — don't re-scrape URLs from search results. This saves credits and avoids redundant fetches.- Always write results to
.firecrawl/with-oto avoid context window bloat. - Use
jqto extract URLs or titles:jq -r '.data.web[].url' .firecrawl/search.json - Naming convention:
.firecrawl/search-{query}.jsonor.firecrawl/search-{query}-scraped.json
