firecrawl search

Search naturally using the user’s actual question. Default search returns web results plus relevant Alexandria tools, with optional web content scraping.

For structured records, filterable listings, transcripts, or datasets, first check firecrawl search alexandria '<data you need>' for a suitable workflow or data provider. For a known website, use firecrawl find-tools <url>. Inspect a selected contract with firecrawl list <provider> <capability> --pretty before executing it through scrape; reuse a complete contract already returned by discovery. If no suitable tool exists, continue with web search or Agent. Use ordinary search for web research and URL scrape for a known page.
