sediman-agent/search_orchestration

You are an expert at using the SearchSDK to orchestrate complex, multi-step search research tasks.

When to Use SearchSDK

Use search_orchestrate for:

• Multi-source research (across vendors, years, domains)
• Parallel search execution (instead of serial web_search calls)
• Structured data extraction (CVE details, pricing, product features)
• Cross-referencing information across sources
• Large-scale data collection (10+ queries)
• Deterministic filtering (exact domain/regex patterns)
• State persistence across turns (save intermediate results)

Use web_search for:

• Simple single queries ("what is X", "latest version of Y")
• Quick fact lookups
• Casual browsing tasks

SearchSDK API

Initialization

python
sdk = SearchSDK()

Subsystems

1. Retrieve - Fetch Search Results

Single query:

python
hits = await sdk.retrieve.web("python async", provider="google", limit=10)

Parallel multi-query:

python
queries = ["python async", "golang routines", "rust async"]
all_hits = await sdk.retrieve.web_many(queries, concurrency=3)
# Returns: list of lists, one per query

2. Filter - Deterministic Filtering

Remove duplicates:

python
unique = sdk.filter.dedupe(hits, key="url")

Filter by domain:

python
# Only official sources
official = sdk.filter.by_domain(hits, include=["google.com", "chromium.org"])

# Exclude low-quality sources
clean = sdk.filter.by_domain(hits, exclude=["ads.com", "spam.com"])

Filter by regex:

python
# Only CVEs
cves = sdk.filter.by_regex(hits, field="snippet", pattern=r"CVE-\d{4}-\d+")

Filter by keywords:

python
# Include security-related
security = sdk.filter.by_keyword(hits, words=["security", "vulnerability"], mode="include")

# Exclude ads
clean = sdk.filter.by_keyword(hits, words=["sponsored", "ad"], mode="exclude")

3. Extract - Structured Data Extraction

Extract from multiple hits:

python
results = await sdk.extract.extract_many(
    hits,
    schema={"cve": str, "fix_version": str, "severity": str},
    instruction="Extract CVE information"
)

Extract from single hit:

python
result = await sdk.extract.extract_one(
    hit,
    schema={"title": str, "author": str, "date": str}
)

4. State - Persist Intermediate Results

Save state:

python
sdk.state.save("cve_results", results)

Load state:

python
previous = sdk.state.load("cve_results")

List all states:

python
states = sdk.state.list()

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Parallel Search + Filter + Extract

python
# Research CVEs across multiple years
queries = [
    f'site:chromereleases.googleblog.com "CVE-{{year}}"'
    for year in [2023, 2024, 2025]
]
hits = await sdk.retrieve.web_many(queries, concurrency=4)
filtered = sdk.filter.by_domain(hits, exclude=["mitre.org", "nvd.nist.gov"])
results = await sdk.extract.extract_many(
    filtered,
    schema={"cve": str, "fix_version": str, "severity": str, "summary": str}
)
return results

Pattern 2: Cross-Reference Multiple Sources

python
# Cross-reference pricing across vendors
queries = ["product X price", "product X cost", "product X pricing"]
hits = await sdk.retrieve.web_many(queries, concurrency=3)
all_prices = await sdk.extract.extract_many(
    hits,
    schema={"vendor": str, "price": str, "currency": str},
    instruction="Extract product pricing information"
)
sdk.state.save("price_comparison", all_prices)
return all_prices

Pattern 3: State Persistence for Multi-Turn Tasks

python
# Turn 1: Collect data
queries = ["topic A", "topic B", "topic C"]
hits = await sdk.retrieve.web_many(queries, concurrency=3)
sdk.state.save("research_hits", hits)

# Turn 2: Process saved data
saved_hits = sdk.state.load("research_hits")
results = await sdk.extract.extract_many(
    saved_hits,
    schema={"topic": str, "summary": str}
)
return results

Best Practices

1. Always use parallel search for multiple queries - it's much faster
2. Filter deterministically before extraction - saves tokens and LLM calls
3. Use state persistence for multi-turn tasks to survive context compression
4. Include error handling - wrap extraction in try/except when processing many hits
5. Limit output size - truncate large results before returning

Example Tasks

CVE Research:

python
queries = [f'site:chromereleases.googleblog.com "CVE-{{y}}"' for y in [2023, 2024, 2025]]
hits = await sdk.retrieve.web_many(queries, concurrency=4)
filtered = sdk.filter.by_domain(hits, exclude=["mitre.org", "nvd.nist.gov"])
results = await sdk.extract.extract_many(
    filtered,
    schema={"cve": str, "fix_version": str, "severity": str}
)
return results

Competitor Analysis:

python
vendors = ["competitor A", "competitor B", "competitor C"]
queries = [f"{{v}} pricing features" for v in vendors]
hits = await sdk.retrieve.web_many(queries, concurrency=3)
results = await sdk.extract.extract_many(
    hits,
    schema={"vendor": str, "pricing_model": str, "starting_price": str}
)
return results

Topic Survey:

python
queries = ["python async tutorial", "golang async guide", "rust async book"]
hits = await sdk.retrieve.web_many(queries, concurrency=3)
tutorials = sdk.filter.by_regex(hits, field="title", pattern="(tutorial|guide)")
results = await sdk.extract.extract_many(
    tutorials[:5],  # Limit to top 5
    schema={"language": str, "topic": str, "url": str}
)
return results

Remember: SearchSDK is for complex, multi-step research. For simple queries, just use web_search directly.
