i assumed, that i can search a particular domain by setting the x-site header via:
curl --location 'https://s.jina.ai/' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer xxxx' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'X-Respond-With: no-content' \
--header 'X-Timeout: 60' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'X-No-Cache: true' \
--header 'X-Site: https://www.lilium.com' \
--data '{
"q": "Please find the latest news about technological developments of the small startup Lilium"
}'
however this does not work:
{
"data": null,
"code": 422,
"name": "AssertionFailureError",
"status": 42206,
"message": "No search results available for query Please find the latest news about technological developments of the small startup Lilium site:https://www.lilium.com",
"readableMessage": "AssertionFailureError: No search results available for query Please find the latest news about technological developments of the small startup Lilium site:https://www.lilium.com"
}
How should the x-site actually behave?
