Smart search combining web and academic results
Search the web and academic sources together, for questions that straddle both. ⚠️ Parameters go in the query string:
query (required), max_num_results, as_ylo/as_yhi. Returns a search id and results[]; the entry shape varies by source — every result has title, link and snippet, and academic ones additionally carry authors and number_of_citations, so treat those two as optional rather than assuming they are there. Measured at about 3 seconds. Use it when you do not know in advance which kind of source will answer. When you do, post_scholar_search_web or post_scholar_search_scholar is more predictable. Keep the id for post_scholar_search_explain.
Scholar search endpoints use
POST with parameters in the query string. Do not send query or max_num_results as a JSON or form body.Example
Authorizations
Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.
