# AIsa Tavily Search

Advanced web search powered by Tavily through the AIsa API. Offers fine-grained control over search depth, topic categories, time ranges, domain filtering, and optional LLM-generated answer summaries.

## Setup

This skill requires the `AISA_API_KEY` environment variable. When installed as a Claude plugin, the key is configured via the plugin's `userConfig`.

## Usage

Run the search client with the `tavily` subcommand:

```bash

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tavily-search/scripts/search_client.py tavily --query "<search query>" [options]

```

### Arguments

| Argument | Required | Default | Description |

|----------|----------|---------|-------------|

| `--query` / `-q` | Yes | — | Search query |

| `--count` / `-c` | No | 5 | Maximum results (1–20) |

| `--depth` | No | basic | Search depth: `basic`, `advanced`, `fast`, `ultra-fast` |

| `--topic` | No | — | Topic filter: `general`, `news`, `finance` |

| `--time-range` | No | — | Time range filter |

| `--include-answer` | No | false | Include an LLM-generated answer summary |

### Examples

```bash

# Basic search

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tavily-search/scripts/search_client.py tavily --query "OpenAI latest announcements" --count 10

# Advanced news search with answer

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tavily-search/scripts/search_client.py tavily --query "AI regulation 2026" --depth advanced --topic news --include-answer

# Finance-focused search

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/tavily-search/scripts/search_client.py tavily --query "NVIDIA earnings Q1 2026" --topic finance --include-answer

```

## Output

The script prints structured results including:

- **Title** — Page title

- **URL** — Direct link

- **Date** — Publication date (when available)

- **Content** — Relevant excerpt

- **Answer** — LLM-generated summary (when `--include-answer` is used)

## When to Use

Use this skill when the user needs advanced search with specific filtering requirements: news-only results, finance-focused results, time-bounded searches, or when they want an AI-generated answer alongside raw results. This is the most feature-rich search tool in the plugin.
