wigolo search
Multi-engine web search with ML reranking, explainable scoring, and per-engine telemetry.
Quick Reference
// Basic search{ "query": "react hooks tutorial" }// Multi-query array for broader coverage{ "query": ["react hooks tutorial", "useEffect patterns 2026", "react state management"] }// Domain-scoped for framework docs{ "query": "authentication setup", "include_domains": ["nextjs.org", "authjs.dev"] }// Phrase-exact search{ "query": "Cannot read properties of undefined", "exact_match": true }// Time-bounded{ "query": "AI tools", "time_range": "month" }// Country-scoped{ "query": "election results", "country": "gb", "category": "news" }// Sub-second budget — cache-only{ "query": "react hooks", "search_depth": "ultra-fast" }// Direct-answer synthesis{ "query": "RSC vs SSR differences", "format": "answer" }// Fresh content (bypass cache){ "query": "latest news", "force_refresh": true }
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | When to use | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
query | string or string[] | required | Array of 3-5 keyword variants for breadth | |
max_results | number | 5 | 3 for focused, 10+ for research (cap 20) | |
max_fetches | number | = max_results | Cap how many top results get full content fetched; lower (e.g. 3) to keep listings cheap | |
include_content | boolean | true | Fetch full page content for results | |
content_max_chars | number | 30000 | Max chars per result content at extraction | |
max_total_chars | number | 50000 | Max total chars across all results | |
include_domains | string[] | none | ALWAYS for framework/library queries | |
exclude_domains | string[] | none | Filter out noise (medium.com, w3schools.com) | |
language | string | none | Language preference passed to engines | |
max_highlights | number | 10 | Max scored 1-3 sentence passages | |
category | string | "general" | "news", "code", "docs", "papers", "images" | |
time_range | string | none | "day", "week", "month", "year" | |
from_date / to_date | string | none | ISO YYYY-MM-DD bounds | |
country | string | none | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 ("us", "gb", "de") | |
exact_match | boolean | false | Treat query as quoted phrase | |
search_depth | string | "balanced" | "ultra-fast" (cache-only ≤300ms), "fast" (≤1s), "balanced", "deep" | |
format | string | none | "answer" / "stream_answer" for synthesis | |
include_images | boolean | false | Emit top-level images[] | |
include_favicon | boolean | false | Per-result favicon URL | |
include_engine_outcomes | boolean | false | Per-engine debug rows | |
max_content_chars | number | none | Smart-truncate at paragraph boundary | |
max_tokens_out | number | none | Token-budget cap (cl100k-base) | |
include_full_markdown | boolean | false | Include full markdown alongside evidence | |
force_refresh | boolean | false | Bypass caches | |
mode | string | "default" | "cache" / "default" / "stealth" |
Always-Emitted Fields
engines_used,engine_telemetry— per-engine name, latency, result count, outcome,dedup_kept.response_time_ms— alias oftotal_time_msfor client compatibility.- Per-result
evidence_score— explainable breakdown (relevance + domain quality + lexical alignment + freshness). - Per-result
freshness_signal—published_date+inferred+confidence. query_understanding— intent, entities, date hint, language,is_brand_collision_prone, considered rewrites.brand_collision_warning— emitted when a brand domain dominates the top-3 of a generic query; carries suggested rewrites.
Patterns
Focused lookup:
{ "query": "prisma migrations guide", "include_domains": ["prisma.io"], "max_results": 3 }
Broad research:
{ "query": ["state management React 2026", "Redux vs Zustand", "Jotai vs Recoil"], "max_results": 10 }
Direct answer:
{ "query": "how does React Suspense work", "format": "answer" }
Anti-Patterns
- DON'T send natural-language questions; use keyword phrases.
- DON'T make N separate calls; use one multi-query array.
- DON'T search without checking the cache first.
- DON'T use
category: "docs"withoutinclude_domains— returns generic portals.
When NOT to use wigolo-search
- Login-gated pages — wigolo cannot authenticate before fetching; use
