Firecrawl Search

What it is

Firecrawl searches the web for the given query.

How it works

<!-- MANUAL: how_it_works -->

This block uses Firecrawl's search API to find web pages matching your query and optionally extract their content. It performs a web search and can return results with full page content in your chosen format.

Configure the number of results to return, output formats (markdown, HTML, raw HTML), and caching behavior. The wait_for parameter allows time for JavaScript-heavy pages to fully render before extraction.
