Tips

  • Keep queries under 400 characters — think search query, not prompt.
  • Break complex queries into sub-queries for better results.
  • **Use --include-raw-content** when you need full page text (saves a separate extract call).
  • **Use --include-domains** to focus on trusted sources.
  • **Use --time-range** for recent information.
  • Read from stdin: echo "query" | tvly search - --json
