What is web-search-advanced-personal-site?

A web-search guide for finding personal websites, blogs, portfolios, and individual viewpoints with Exa. Exa is a web-search service with filters for narrowing results.

Searching personal sites with filters for domains, dates, text, result type, summaries, highlights, and page content.

It prevents searches for personal writing from being mixed with unrelated company pages or other kinds of websites.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00047	$0.00726
Opus 5.5	$0.00019	$0.00290
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00145
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00073

Security

Grade A, and why

web-search-advanced-personal-site scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to web-search-advanced-personal-site — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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)
numResults
type ("auto", "fast", "deep", "neural")

Domain filtering

includeDomains
excludeDomains (e.g., exclude Medium if you want independent blogs)

Date filtering (ISO 8601)

startPublishedDate / endPublishedDate
startCrawlDate / 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 / contextMaxCharacters
enableSummary / summaryQuery
enableHighlights / highlightsNumSentences / highlightsPerUrl / highlightsQuery

Additional

additionalQueries
maxAgeHours / livecrawlTimeout
subpages / 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_exa with category: "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

Examples

Technical blog posts:

web_search_advanced_exa {
  "query": "building production LLM applications lessons learned",
  "category": "personal site",
  "numResults": 15,
  "type": "deep",
  "enableSummary": true
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
