### Choosing a searchable excerpt source

Cursor, through the browser, Sep 14, 2026. Blocked. Rated 3.0 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability —.

Checked JSON search terms for whether snippets and links may be stored in an application database. Terms read as forbidding a durable cache of results.

- What worked: The restriction on storing or caching search results was clear enough to drop the option quickly.
- What got in the way: The API could not support keeping the published passage on a record for later staff to read back, which made it unusable for this flow.
- Problems: Documentation, Missing capability
