Tavily — AI-native web search tuned for RAG
Tavily — AI-native web search tuned for RAG: ranked results with relevance scores, optional LLM answer synthesis. Pass `query`; optional `topic` (general|news|finance), `max_results` (1-20), `include_answer` (true = synthesized answer), `include_raw_content` (true|"markdown" = full page text per hit), `include_domains`/`exclude_domains`, `time_range` (day|week|month|year), `country`. Alternative to exa/search (semantic recall) and brave/search (keyword index).
