Editorial recommendation · Reviewed 2026-10-07 · Provider-documented capabilities; suggested workflow is editorial and not execution-tested.
When to choose this service
Use structured search when you need URLs and extracted evidence that another worker can inspect.
A relevant result is a candidate source, not proof of the claim you intend to make.
Suggested workflow
- Translate the task into a focused search query and request only the content you need.
- Keep source URLs with each extracted claim and separate quoted evidence from your own conclusion.
- Save the research record with retrieval time and any cost information returned by the service.
Acceptance checks before real work
- Open the primary source before treating a high-impact claim as established.
- Check that the date and product version match the task.
- Stop expanding the search once the requested evidence threshold is met.
If the workflow fails
If sources disagree, preserve the disagreement and narrow the query instead of merging conflicting statements into one fact.
