What Are Search Engine Parameters And How to Use Them With SERP API?
in Use Cases
Comments
When it comes to filtering search results, search engines are quite versatile. Google, for example, offers a variety of advanced parameters for narrowing down the search. From filtering out results for the past 24 hours to running the scholar search, knowing these search parameters can provide plentiful opportunities to SEO geeks and SEO software developers alike.
By knowing what parameters to append to the search URL string, you can also enhance your productivity when working with the SERP API of DataForSEO. If you take a look at the section for DataForSEO Docs that describes the task-setting process for this API, you will likely notice the search_param string. Even though this parameter is optional and is seldom used by our customers, we do get a lot of questions about using advanced search parameters in API requests.
Below you’ll find a set of popular parameters you can use to customize your requests to the SERP API.
Use Cases for Google search parameters
List of Popular Search Parameters
| Search Engine | Parameter | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Bing | qsetlangcountsafesearch |
search query search language results number safe search ( off, moderate, strict) |
| Yahoo | pvlvc |
search query search language search country |
qhlgluuletbsnumstartsafe=active |
search query search language search location search region index time frame search filter results number first result index safe search on to turn it off: safe=images |
Specify A Time Frame
One of the most popular parameters Google offers for customizing the search is the time filter. By applying the tbs=qdr:x with a corresponding timeframe indicator in the search_param string, you can get search results indexed by Google within a particular timeframe – e.g., past hour, past 24 hours, past week, and so on.
Parameter: tbs=qdr:x
Replace x with one of the following timeframe indicators to only see the results first indexed in:
- h – past hour
- d – past 24 hours
- w – past week
- m – past month
- mn – the past n number of months. Double digits are supported
- y – past year
Past hour
Parameter: tbs=qdr:h
Use it to get files indexed in the past hour.

Specify the Number Of Results On a Results Page
By default, SERP API shows 100 results on the page. Now, let’s say you need to retrieve only the first page of SERP and process the remaining 90 results in nine separate batches of only ten results included into each of them. Put simply, in this case you get the default view of SERP with ten results on each page.
- Parameter:
start=x
Swap out the x with the number of the position that you want to start retrieving results from. For example, you can use the start=10 if you want to exclude the first ten search results from the SERP API response.
- Integer:
“depth”:y
Unlike other parameters we used in this article depth is a stand-alone integer used to specify the number of results you want to get ( i.e., crawling depth). For, example, by swapping out the y with 10, you will get the first ten results of the search engine results page.
- Combining the
start=xparameter with the“depth”:yinteger
You can also combine the above parameters to get a particular page of Google or make a series of API requests to group results by a certain number. For example, you may want to crawl the first 30 results and include only 10 results into each API response. In the case, you’d need to make three separate requests using different search parameters as well as specify the crawling depth.
First request:
“depth”:10
Use it to get the first 10 results of SERPs.

Select the Image Size Option
Google Images has a built-in tool for selecting the image size option in SERP: “large,” “medium,” “icon,” or “default that’s applied by default. You can find it under the “Tools” block right beneath the search bar.
Our Google SERP Images API supports URL parameters that will help you emulate this and get data for images of a certain size. To do that, include one of the following code snippets in the “search_param” field of your POST request:
- Large:
tbs=isz:l - Medium:
tbs=isz:m - Icon:
tbs=isz:i
