Why AI agents need search capabilities

AI agents are powerful at reasoning and generation, but they are fundamentally limited by their training data cutoff. Without internet search, agents cannot answer questions about current events, live prices, recent releases, or breaking news.

Flexura's Search API bridges this gap. When a user asks their agent to research a topic, find the latest news, or look up real-time information, the agent calls Flexura's search endpoint and gets instant, structured results optimized for machine consumption.

How Flexura Search works

Flexura's Search API is powered by Tavily, the leading AI-optimized search engine. Unlike traditional search engines that return HTML pages designed for humans, Tavily returns clean, structured data designed for AI agents to consume directly.

Every search returns three key elements: a direct AI-generated answer that the agent can present immediately, an array of search results with full extracted page content, and relevance scores that help agents prioritize the most useful sources.

Search is synchronous — there is no polling or waiting. Results typically return in 1-2 seconds, making it fast enough for real-time conversational use.

Advanced search features

Flexura Search supports topic-based filtering for general knowledge, news, and finance queries. You can restrict results to specific time ranges — today, this week, this month, or this year — making it ideal for agents that need only the most recent information.

Domain filtering lets you include or exclude specific websites from results. This is useful for agents that need to search only trusted sources, or for avoiding known low-quality content farms.

One install, instant search capability

Install the Flexura skill into any AI agent — Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Aider, or Cline — with a single command. Once installed, your agent automatically knows when and how to use the Search API based on what the user asks.

Say 'search for the latest tech news' or 'find information about React 19 features' and your agent handles the API call, processes the results, and presents a cited answer — all without any additional configuration.

Frequently asked questions

How fast is the search API?

Search results typically return in 1-2 seconds. The API is synchronous, so there is no polling or job queue — you get results immediately in the response.

Do I need a Tavily API key?

No. Flexura handles the Tavily integration for you. You only need a single Flexura API key to access search and all other capabilities.

Can I search for news or financial data specifically?

Yes. Set the 'topic' parameter to 'news' for current events or 'finance' for market data. You can also use 'time_range' to filter by recency.

How many search results can I get?

You can request between 1 and 20 results per query using the 'max_results' parameter. The default is 5.

Ready to add this capability to your agent?
