Description
Limits the search result snippet length for exa web search api.
Exa previously returned the entire web page content as the snippet for each search result, potentially filling up the entire context window of the LLM. This lead to no response from the LLM as well as unnecessarily driving up cost if using external models.
Changed
Exa web search now utilizes exa native highlights instead of raw web page content. Highlights return token efficient page excerpts. Character limit set to 600 instead of 1,000,000.
Fixed
Fixed exa web search snippets potentially filling up the entire context window of LLM.
