Firecrawl released a Legal Retrieval Benchmark of 581 requests, each targeting one official source (statutes, regulations, bills, agency docs). Its Government & Legal Index ranked #1 with 76.2% gold@1, 4.8 points ahead of Claude Code with built-in web search (71.4%); Exa scored 59.6%, Parallel 54.2%, tool-less Claude Code 47.8%. It also hit 96.6% gold@10. Caveat: vendor-built, vendor-won. Firecrawl simultaneously announced a $75M Series B.
