Research

Route: /research

The Research page is a Firecrawl-powered web search scoped to your tech stack. Ask questions in plain English and get summarised answers with source links, drawn from up-to-date documentation and community resources.


What it’s for

  • Debug a library error — “Why does react-query v5 throw on an empty select return?”
  • Find migration paths — “How do I upgrade from Next.js 14 to 15 App Router?”
  • Check best practices — “What are the current Supabase RLS performance recommendations?”
  • Research a competitor pattern — “How does Linear handle optimistic updates in their web app?”

Results are saved per-project so teammates can see previous research without re-running it.


  1. Type your question in the search box.
  2. Optionally select a context tag (e.g. your framework, language, or library) to narrow results.
  3. Press Search or Enter.

Results appear within 5–15 seconds depending on Firecrawl queue depth. Each result card shows:

  • Title and source URL
  • Summary — AI-extracted key points
  • Relevance score

If the search fails, an error banner shows the specific error code:

  • FIRECRAWL_ERROR — your Firecrawl BYOK key is invalid or rate-limited. Check Integration health.
  • TIMEOUT — the search took > 30 seconds. Try a more specific query.
  • NO_RESULTS — no pages matched. Try broader terms.

Research results are stored in your Supabase project. They are never shared with other tenants. Firecrawl processes queries on their infrastructure using your BYOK key — see their privacy policy  for data handling details.


Saving results

Click the bookmark icon on any result card to save it to the project’s research library. Saved results appear in the Saved tab and are pinned to the relevant report or fix if you initiated the search from those pages.


Prerequisites

A Firecrawl API key must be configured in Settings → API keys before Research works. Visit Integration health to confirm the key is active.
