Exa Search

Blocks for searching the web using Exa's advanced neural and keyword search API.

Exa Search

What it is

Searches the web using Exa's advanced search API

How it works

This block uses Exa's advanced search API to find web content. Unlike traditional search engines, Exa offers neural search that understands semantic meaning, making it excellent for finding specific types of content. You can choose between keyword search (traditional), neural search (semantic understanding), or fast search.

The block supports powerful filtering by domain, date ranges, content categories (companies, research papers, news, etc.), and text patterns. Results include URLs, titles, and optionally full content extraction.
