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.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/brightdata/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/search ~/.claude/skills/search
```

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.
