## Overview
This skill provides web search functionality via You.com's Search API, offering several advantages over basic WebSearch:
- **Higher quality results** with relevance ranking and citation extraction
- **Works with zero configuration** — no key, wallet, or sign-up needed for the keyless tier
- **Real-time web crawling** for fresh content when `livecrawl=web` is enabled (keyed tier)
- **Structured result format** with titles, URLs, snippets, and publication dates
- **Optional livecrawl control** through `YOUCOM_LIVECRAWL` when a full page fetch is useful
