SERPdive Web Search

Search the live web and get back answer-ready page content, not a list of links. Each result carries the actual text of the page (url, title, date, content), already extracted, cleaned and trimmed for LLM use, so facts can be quoted and cited straight from the response. Use it for anything that needs current or post-training information: news, prices, releases, docs, sports, niche facts. Write the query the way a person would type it, in any language: localization is automatic. The 'mako' model (default) returns the fact-carrying sentences of each page, fast and concise, right for most questions. The 'moby' model returns the full readable text of each page: use it for deep research or when complete context matters. Set answer=true to also get a direct answer synthesized from the sources.

Input parameters:

- `answer` (boolean): When true, the response also carries an 'answer' field: a direct answer to the query synthesized from the sources.
- `max_results` (integer): Maximum number of results to return (1 to 10). Omit to let the engine pick its calibrated mix.
- `model` (string): 'mako' (default): the key sentences of each page, concise and fast. 'moby': the full readable text of each page, for deep research.
- `query` (string, required): The search query, in any language, phrased like a real web search.
