Search academic papers

​

Search academic literature. ⚠️ Parameters go in the query string, not a body: query (required), max_num_results, and as_ylo/as_yhi to bound publication years. Returns a search id and results[] with title, link, snippet, authors and number_of_citations — that last field is what a general web search cannot give you. Use it when the question calls for peer-reviewed sources or when citation counts matter. For current events and product pages a general engine is better: searchWeb. To cover both at once, post_scholar_search_mixed. Keep the id for post_scholar_search_explain.
