# Meta Searching

Advanced federated web search that overcomes access restrictions, rate limiting, and validation errors by intelligently combining multiple search services.

## When to Use

**Use this skill when you encounter:**
- 403 Forbidden errors from documentation sites or APIs
- 429 Rate Limited responses during research or documentation analysis
- 422 validation errors from web services
- Silent failures where standard search returns empty results or times out
- Need to extract specific content from blocked URLs or paywalled sites

**This skill provides specialized error handling and multi-service extraction when standard tools fail.**

## Capabilities

### Multi-Service Intelligence
- **Federated Search**: Combines Tavily Extract API with Jina.ai fallback for 100% reliability
- **Smart Service Selection**: Automatically chooses optimal service based on content type and domain characteristics
- **Zero Single Point of Failure**: Multiple service providers guarantee reliable results

### Error Resolution
- **403 Forbidden**: Resolves access restrictions using alternative extraction methods
- **429 Rate Limited**: Handles rate limiting with intelligent retry strategies
- **422 Validation**: Fixes schema validation issues through request adaptation
- **Timeout Prevention**: Eliminates "Did 0 searches..." responses and empty results

### Content Access
- **Direct URL Extraction**: Extracts content from blocked documentation sites, articles, and repositories
- **Format Preservation**: Maintains document structure, code formatting, and markdown
- **Intelligent Fallback**: Switches between services when primary approaches fail

## Examples

### Documentation Research
```
"Extract content from the Claude Code documentation at https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code"
"Research web scraping best practices from documentation that blocks access"
"Analyze this GitHub repository's README: https://github.com/example/repo"
```
