Description
Search is how AI agents ground themselves in the web, but reading full pages for every query burns tokens fast. We trained a model that returns the excerpts from each /search result that best answer your query, giving your AI agents highly relevant context from every page. It outperforms processing full pages while using 10x fewer tokens. On SimpleQA, AI agents using Firecrawl /search now score 94.7%, higher than any other provider. It's live today on every /search call.

Could you build this?
No This feature relies on Firecrawl's proprietary web crawling infrastructure paired with a custom-trained machine learning model specifically optimized for relevance-based excerpt extraction.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a high-throughput distributed web crawler and indexer capable of bypassing aggressive anti-bot defenses at internet scale. Crucially, it involves curating a domain-specific dataset of agent search queries paired with relevant web page excerpts and training/fine-tuning a low-latency reranker or embedding/extractive LM to run cost-effectively at high QPS. The machine learning training pipeline and web-scale scraping infrastructure require an experienced systems and ML engineering team.
