### Using filters


```python
from search_ai import search, Filters

search_filters = Filters(
    in_title="python",              # Only include results with "python" in the title
    tlds=[".edu", ".org"],          # Restrict results to .edu and .org domains
    https_only=True,                # Only include websites that support HTTPS
    exclude_sites='quora.com',      # Exclude results from quora.com
    exclude_filetypes='pdf'         # Exclude PDF documents from results
)

results = search(filters=search_filters)
for result in results:
    print(result.title)
```

### Markdown & JSON formats

Once extracted, you can retrieve the results in either Markdown or JSON format for further processing.  

If the `extend` argument is set to `True`, the content of the result's websites will also be included in the output.
To achieve this functionality, SearchAI uses [Playwright](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright) to load and extract content
from websites. In addition to extracting the main content of a page, SearchAI also tries to find metadata on pages, such as
an author name and twitter handle.

Getting results in markdown ([example](https://github.com/jpjacobpadilla/SearchAI/blob/c8c160a8d57e51ccb1c215ad27d652809a3d6da9/examples/markdown_example.py)):

```python
SearchResults.markdown(
    extend=False,           # Set to True to fetch and include page content
    content_length=1000,    # Limit the length of extracted content
    ignore_links=False,     # Exclude hyperlinks in the content
    ignore_images=True,     # Exclude images from the content
    only_page_content=False # If True, omits metadata from the output
)
```

Getting results in json ([example](https://github.com/jpjacobpadilla/SearchAI/blob/c8c160a8d57e51ccb1c215ad27d652809a3d6da9/examples/json_example.py)):

```python
SearchResults.json(
    extend=False,           # Set to True to fetch and include page content
    content_length=1000,    # Limit the length of extracted content
    ignore_links=False,     # Exclude hyperlinks in the content
    ignore_images=True,     # Exclude images from the content
)
```

### Using proxies

If you'd like to use proxies, you can create a proxy object using `Proxy` and pass it into either `search` or `async_search`.

```python
from search_ai import Proxy, search

proxy = Proxy(
    protocol="[protocol]",
    host="[host]",
    port=9999,
    username="optional username",
    password="optional password"
)

search('query', proxy=proxy)
```

### Async support

SearchAI also supports Asyncio! Instead of using `search`, use `async_search`. The
async version will return an `AsyncSearchResults` which will contain multiple instances of `AsyncSearchResult`.

```python
from search_ai import async_search

results = await async_search(...)
await results.json(extend=True)
```

## All filters

You can narrow down searches by including filters like so:

```python
Filters(
    sites="example.com",
    tlds=[".edu", ".gov"],
    filetype="pdf",
    exclude_sites=["facebook.com", "twitter.com"],
    in_title="python",
    not_in_url=["login", "signup"]
)
```

Here is a complete list of all the filters in SearchAI:

| Filter                  | Description                                                             | Example (one)         | Example (many)                        |
