Why shouldn't I use basic web_search as a fallback?

Exa provides a much higher level of semantic relevance; switching to keyword search can significantly degrade the quality and accuracy of the information retrieved for technical tasks.

Can I use this skill for LinkedIn research?

Yes, the skill includes specialized tools specifically designed for searching and analyzing LinkedIn profiles for professional research.

How does Exa search differ from standard web search?

Exa uses neural embedding-based search to understand the intent and context of a query, providing relevant results even without exact keyword matches, whereas standard search relies on simple keyword matching.
