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

FAQPage Schema
How do I search the web from the command line with Tavily?

Run tvly search followed by your query in quotes and the --json flag for structured output. Add options like --max-results, --depth, or --time-range to control result count, relevance, and recency.

What search depth should I use with the Tavily CLI?

Use basic depth for general-purpose queries, advanced for precision on specific facts, and ultra-fast or fast when latency matters such as real-time chat. Advanced depth is slower but yields the highest relevance.

How do I filter Tavily search results by domain or date?

Use --include-domains or --exclude-domains with comma-separated domain lists to control sources. For dates, apply --time-range with day, week, month, or year, or set explicit --start-date and --end-date values.

What should I do if the tvly command is not found?

Install the Tavily CLI by running the install script from cli.tavily.com and then authenticating with tvly login. The skill requires tvly on PATH before any search command will work.

Can Tavily search return full page content instead of snippets?

Yes, pass --include-raw-content with markdown or text format to include full page content in results. This avoids a separate extraction call when you need complete page text.
