search
Search the web via the Bright Data CLI — `bdata search` for Google/Bing/Yandex SERP, `bdata discover` for intent-ranked semantic results. Use when the user wants SERP results, needs URLs to feed into scraping, or wants semantic web discovery with optional page content. Hands off to `scrape` once target URLs are chosen, and to `data-feeds` when the user wants structured data from a known platform. Requires the Bright Data CLI; proactively guides install + login if missing.

Bright Data — Search Find things on the web. Two commands live in this skill: bdata search — classic keyword SERP (Google/Bing/Yandex). Best when you want "what ranks for keyword X." bdata discover — AI intent-ranked discovery with optional page content. Best when you want "pages about topic Y that match intent Z." For structured data from a known platform (Amazon, LinkedIn, TikTok, …), stop and use data-feeds instead. gate (run first) Halt and route to skills/bright-data-best-practices/references/cli- .md if either check fails. Pick your path | Situation | Action | |---|---| | Single keyword query, just SERP | bdata search " " --engine google --json --pretty | | Paginated SERP (more results) | loop --page 0, --page 1, … (0-indexed) | | Multiple queries | shell loop over a queries file | | Intent-ranked / semantic (not keyword) | bdata discover " " --intent " " --num-results 20 | | Want page bodies along with results, one pass | bdata discover ...
