Overview
What This Skill Does
Builds Firecrawl `/search` flows when an app needs discovery before extraction — when a feature starts from a query instead of a URL — and optionally hydrates result content in the same call.
Application
When to use this Skill
- Configuring integration settings for custom agent workflows.
- Optimizing query execution and response latency in production.
- Developing clean, standard-compliant implementations for enterprise services.
- Troubleshooting connection timeouts and authentication handshakes.
- Monitoring API rate limits and execution pipelines programmatically.

Firecrawl Build Search
Use this when the application starts with a query, not a URL.
Use This When
- the user asks a question and the product must discover sources first
- the feature needs current web results
- you want to turn a search query into a shortlist of pages for later scraping
Default Recommendations
- Use
/searchfirst when URL discovery is part of the product behavior. - Keep search and extraction conceptually separate unless scraping search results is clearly required.
- Prefer selective follow-up extraction over broad hydration when cost or latency matters.
Common Product Patterns
- answer generation with cited sources
- company, competitor, or topic discovery
- research workflows that produce a shortlist before deeper extraction
- query-to-URL pipelines for later
