One request shape across every search engine Helve fronts. Pick an engine with provider, leave it on auto, or set fusion to merge a panel’s top picks. Parameters the serving engine cannot express are approximated or dropped and reported in warnings; set strict to make that an error instead. The response always includes what the request cost.

What to search for, in natural language. Keyword engines (Brave, Serper) receive it as typed; neural engines (Exa, Parallel) interpret it semantically.
Which engine serves the request. auto (default) picks the first configured provider in Helve's priority order. fusion fans out to a panel of engines and merges their top picks by consensus; see the Fusion guide.
Number of results to return, 1–100. Default 10. Engines with a lower ceiling (Tavily and Brave stop at 20) are capped with a param_approximated warning. With fusion this sizes each member's list, not the merged one.
Speed/quality trade-off, mapped to each engine's tiers (Exa instant/fast/auto/deep, Parallel turbo/fast/basic/advanced, Tavily ultra-fast/fast/basic/advanced). Single-tier engines ignore it with a warning. Default: the engine's own default tier.
Escape hatch for provider-native parameters. Each key is a provider id; its value is merged into that provider's request unchanged. Helve never inspects these, except fusion, which is Helve's own and typed.
Wall-clock time Helve spent on the request. With fusion, roughly the slowest member.
