Let Agents Design How They Search: Automatic Interface Optimization for Agentic Search

Sangjune An, Jaeyoon Jung, Yumin Choi, Jinheon Baek, Junmo Cho +2

Agentic search depends on the interface through which a language-model agent accesses and explores a corpus. Existing interface designs are fixed by hand and applied unchanged to every corpus, although effective designs may depend on the corpus. We introduce SearchWeaver, a framework for automatic search interface optimization guided by downstream search performance. A proposer uses execution trajectories and task rewards to jointly revise corpus artifacts, executable tools, and usage instructions. This pro cess optimizes what information is prepared in advance, which operations tools perform, and which decisions remain with the search agent. With GPT-5.4-nano, the optimized interfaces improve answer accuracy from 71.6% to 78.4% on BrowseComp-Plus and average nDCG@10 from 45.7 to 55.0 across four BRIGHT subsets over Direct Corpus Interaction. These findings highlight the value of jointly optimizing corpus artifacts, executable tools, and usage instructions to develop effective search interfaces.
