Web Search Advanced - Personal Site Category
Tool Restriction (Critical)
ONLY use web_search_advanced_exa with category: "personal site". Do NOT use other categories or tools.
Full Filter Support
The personal site category supports ALL available parameters:
Core
query(required)numResultstype("auto", "fast", "deep", "neural")
Domain filtering
includeDomainsexcludeDomains(e.g., exclude Medium if you want independent blogs)
Date filtering (ISO 8601)
startPublishedDate/endPublishedDatestartCrawlDate/endCrawlDate
Text filtering
includeText(must contain ALL)excludeText(exclude if ANY match)
Array size restriction: includeText and excludeText only support single-item arrays. Multi-item arrays (2+ items) cause 400 errors. To match multiple terms, put them in the query string or run separate searches.
Content extraction
textMaxCharacters/contextMaxCharactersenableSummary/summaryQueryenableHighlights/highlightsNumSentences/highlightsPerUrl/highlightsQuery
Additional
additionalQueriesmaxAgeHours/livecrawlTimeoutsubpages/subpageTarget- useful for exploring portfolio sites
Token Isolation (Critical)
Never run Exa searches in main context. Always spawn Task agents:
- Agent calls
web_search_advanced_exawithcategory: "personal site" - Agent merges + deduplicates results before presenting
- Agent returns distilled output (brief markdown or compact JSON)
- Main context stays clean regardless of search volume
When to Use
Use this category when you need:
- Individual expert opinions and experiences
- Personal blog posts on technical topics
- Portfolio websites
- Independent analysis (not corporate content)
- Deep dives and tutorials from practitioners

web_search_advanced_exa {
"query": "building production LLM applications lessons learned",
"category": "personal site",

"category": "personal site",
"excludeDomains": ["medium.com", "substack.com"],
"numResults": 15,
