What does mttr_search do?
Ask a question as a buyer would and get the passages that answer it best, and each site once by its best passage, from the sites closest to the question, one market, or sites you name. Only whoever runs this mttr may make this call.
When to use it
- You want to see which sites read closest to a buyer’s question.
What you ask
You say“Which sites answer “how often should a septic tank be pumped”?”
mttr_search({ q: "who installs french drains near me" })
| Argument | Type | Needed | What it is |
|---|---|---|---|
q | Text | Yes | The question, in plain words. |
market | Text | No | Only this market, named by the site at its centre, as mttr_markets gives it. |
sites | Text | No | Only these sites, as domains separated by commas. |
limit | Number | No | How many to return. |
What comes back
- The passages closest to the question, marked as quoted.
- Each site once, by its best passage.
- Close means similar in meaning, not right, and not cited by an assistant.
