From ee42231a09598efc2d50edf18d2437442a081665 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rustem Kamalov Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 05:23:49 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] feat: output format support via ?format= param All search endpoints accept ?format=json|markdown|text|ndjson (default: json). Accept header negotiation also works (text/markdown, text/plain, application/x-ndjson). Non-JSON formats skip the response cache to avoid polluting the JSON cache key. Markdown output is optimised for n8n Slack/email nodes; text output reduces token count ~25-30% vs JSON for LLM grounding pipelines; NDJSON emits one result per line. --- core/format_markdown.go | 72
