    for r in results:
        print(f"{r['title']} - {r['href']}")
```

### Jupyter Notebook

You can easily collect data into a Pandas DataFrame for analysis:

```python
from seekify import Search
import pandas as pd

# Search and create a DataFrame
with Search() as s:
    results = s.text("artificial intelligence trends", backend="duckduckgo", max_results=20)

df = pd.DataFrame(results)
display(df)
```

## 🛡️ Proxy Support

Avoid rate limits and IP bans by routing traffic through a proxy.

```python
from seekify import Search

# Using a SOCKS5 proxy (e.g., Tor)
s = Search(proxy="socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050")

# Using an authenticated HTTP proxy
s = Search(proxy="http://user:password@proxy_ip:port")

# Then use normal search methods
results = s.text("privacy tools")
```
