The new Firecrawl /search
Launching today
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.

Returning the relevant excerpt instead of making every agent carry the whole page is the practical win. Long agent runs fail in boring ways when context fills with page furniture, so keeping retrieval lean is a reliability feature as much as a token-cost feature.
someone in the reviews asked for multi-step search/enrichment, wonder if that's just a prompt problem or if it needs a different architecture entirely".
been using firecrawl since last year for a scraper, still holds up on the ugly js sites that used to break everything"
Great idea and I love the token-efficiency angle. Once you're paying per-token for every agent step, stripping nav/footer cruft before it hits the model matters more than raw scrape speed...
Really like that you explained why search was slow/expensive before showing the fix, and you backed it up with a real benchmark score (94.7%), not just 'trust us it's better.
