SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Built-in web search often returns only snippets, forcing extra fetch steps to read actual page content. This Skill runs web, news, and developer-focused searches through the Firecrawl CLI and optionally scrapes full page markdown in one command, writing structured JSON results to disk. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Web search with optional scraping: Run queries with --scrape to get full page markdown alongside search results, avoiding redundant fetches. - Developer search index: Use --categories developer or the firecrawl developer command to search GitHub issues, merged PRs, READMEs, and curated docs with matched passages. - Filtered searches: Narrow results by source type (web, images, news), time range (--tbs), location, and country. - Use Case: You hit an unfamiliar error message while coding. Run firecrawl developer "error message" --limit 10 to pull matching GitHub issues and PR discussions with the relevant passages, then read them with jq. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to search the web for your topic using firecrawl, for example: search for recent news about React Server Components and scrape the full page content of the top results.

Frequently Asked Questions about firecrawl-search

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search the web and get full page content in one step?▼

Run firecrawl search with the --scrape flag to fetch full page markdown for each result alongside the search hits. Write output to a file with -o and parse it with jq to avoid re-scraping URLs later.

How to search GitHub issues and pull requests for a coding error?▼

Use firecrawl search with --categories developer, or the dedicated firecrawl developer command, which searches an index of GitHub issues, merged PRs, READMEs, and docs. Results include matched passages you can read with jq.

Can I filter web search results by date or news sources?▼

Yes. Use --sources news to restrict results to news, and --tbs with values like qdr:d, qdr:w, or qdr:m to limit results to the past day, week, or month. Location and country filters are also supported.

What is the difference between firecrawl search and firecrawl scrape?▼

Search is for when you do not have a URL yet and need to discover pages. Scrape is for extracting content from a specific known URL. The typical workflow is search first, then scrape, map, or crawl as needed.

Why should search results be written to a file instead of stdout?▼

Writing results to .firecrawl/ with -o keeps large JSON payloads out of the context window. You can then extract only the URLs, titles, or passages you need using jq queries.
