Search the web

Search query

Retrieval mode; "pro" is the default

Filter: pages acquired after this date (YYYY-MM-DD, ISO 8601, or relative like "7d")

Filter: pages acquired before this date

Filter: pages published after this date, a lower bound on publish time. Use this, not query_time, to get recent results.

Filter: pages published before this date

Restrict results to a specific domain

Leave empty for a normal search. An upper time bound for a point-in-time search: the web as it stood at this moment, with every page newer than it excluded. It sets no lower bound, so this is not a recency filter; for recent results use published_after. Accepts an ISO 8601 datetime (e.g. "2026-09-20T00:00:00Z"), a YYYY-MM-DD date, a Unix epoch, or an offset back from now ("7d" means as of 7 days ago, not the last 7 days). Units: min, h, d, w, mo, y.

Maximum length, in characters, of the snippet returned per result. When omitted, a default snippet length is used.

Maximum number of results to return. When omitted, a default count (10) is used.

Experimental: use wizards (structured data outputs). Only valid in "pro" mode. Not available to an organization under a zero data retention policy: the request is refused with 400 zdr_wizards_unsupported.

Echo of the search query

Search mode used

Present when the request was not answered as a plain search. Either the query was a URL, so the page was fetched directly, or the query carried only a site: operator with no search terms, so the site name was used as the search term. It also says when wizards that the organization's settings turn on were left out because its zero data retention policy does not allow them.
