| Parameter | In | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | query | yes | string | The search query, sent to the engine as written. |
| `engine` | query | no | enum: brave, ddg | Search engine to use. For broader coverage, query both engines and merge results by profile URL. |
| `page` | query | no | integer | Zero-based result page. Paging one query past its result cap returns nothing new -- more distinct queries beat more pages of one. |
