Linkup — AI web search returning a cited answer or ranked results
Linkup — AI web search returning a cited answer or ranked results. Pass `q`; optional `outputType` (sourcedAnswer default — synthesized answer with sources | searchResults — raw ranked hits | structured — pass `structuredOutputSchema` JSON-schema string), `fromDate`/`toDate` (ISO), `includeDomains`/`excludeDomains`, `includeImages`, `includeInlineCitations`. Standard depth — one-pass retrieval. For hard multi-hop questions escalate to linkup/deep-search (5¢).
