Stable JSON hits for 57. Results arrive as JSON in one fixed shape, and failures carry an error code agents can act on.
Local-Search@7047959:README.md:99-100
Fast Search hits for 55 and raises its Pace. Its July 2026 benchmark measured a 148.7 ms median search, mixing fresh searches with answers from saved results.
