Overview
Tako Fast Search (POST /v1/knowledge_search) returns results in seconds. It’s optimized for speed — great for autocomplete, inline suggestions, and quick lookups — but has much lower recall than Deep Search. If you need comprehensive data coverage and reasoning over the results, use Tako Deep Search instead.
Example

Example Result
Query: “Top Performing Stock Today”
When to Use Fast Search
- Low-latency lookups (< 5 seconds)
- Autocomplete and inline suggestions
- Simple factual queries (“Tesla market cap”, “US GDP 2024”)
- Showing a quick data card alongside other search results
Tips
Enhance queries with context: Your code can inject context from the user’s session to improve relevance. For example, if you know the user is in a financial context, send"MSFT stock price last 6 months" instead of just "MSFT".
Use the structured response: Each knowledge card includes title, description, embed_url, image_url, webpage_url, and sources. Use these to display interactive charts, static images, or data provenance in your app.
Set search_effort explicitly: Pass "fast" to guarantee the fastest response. Omitting it or using "auto" may route to a slower pipeline depending on query complexity.
If you send
search_effort: "deep" (or "auto" that resolves to deep) to this endpoint, it will return HTTP 202 with a task_id for async polling instead of a synchronous response. Your client should handle both 200 and 202 status codes. See the Deep Search guide for the polling flow.
