tavily search

Web search returning LLM-optimized results with content snippets and relevance scores.

Prerequisites

Requires the Tavily CLI. See tavily-cli for install and auth setup.

Quick install: curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash && tvly login

When to use

You need to find information on any topic
You don't have a specific URL yet
First step in the workflow: search → extract → map → crawl → research

Quick start

# Basic search
tvly search "your query" --json

# Advanced search with more results
tvly search "quantum computing" --depth advanced --max-results 10 --json

# Recent news
tvly search "AI news" --time-range week --topic news --json

# Domain-filtered
tvly search "SEC filings" --include-domains sec.gov,reuters.com --json

# Include full page content in results
tvly search "react hooks tutorial" --include-raw-content --max-results 3 --json

Options

Option	Description
`--depth`	`ultra-fast`, `fast`, `basic` (default), `advanced`
`--max-results`	Max results, 0-20 (default: 5)
`--topic`	`general` (default), `news`, `finance`
`--time-range`	`day`, `week`, `month`, `year`
`--start-date`	Results after date (YYYY-MM-DD)
`--end-date`	Results before date (YYYY-MM-DD)
`--include-domains`	Comma-separated domains to include
`--exclude-domains`	Comma-separated domains to exclude
`--country`	Boost results from country
`--include-answer`	Include AI answer (`basic` or `advanced`)
`--include-raw-content`	Include full page content (`markdown` or `text`)
`--include-images`	Include image results
`--include-image-descriptions`	Include AI image descriptions
`--chunks-per-source`	Chunks per source (advanced/fast depth only)
`-o, --output`	Save output to file
`--json`	Structured JSON output

Search depth

Depth	Speed	Relevance	Best for
`ultra-fast`	Fastest	Lower	Real-time chat, autocomplete
`fast`	Fast	Good	Need chunks, latency matters
`basic`	Medium	High	General-purpose (default)
`advanced`	Slower	Highest	Precision, specific facts

Tips

Keep queries under 400 characters — think search query, not prompt.
Break complex queries into sub-queries for better results.
Use `--include-raw-content` when you need full page text (saves a separate extract call).
Use `--include-domains` to focus on trusted sources.
Use `--time-range` for recent information.
