When the user searches for “Kuika Release Notes” → siteSearch = “kuika.com” → Only results from the Kuika website are returned.

3. File Type Search

When the user searches for “project documentation” → file_type = “pdf” → Only PDF files are found.

Google Search Action Advanced Customizations

  • Dynamic Search: The user writes the query in the in-app search box.
  • Pagination: Subsequent pages are retrieved with the offset parameter.
  • Image Search: search_type = “image” → only images are returned.
  • Filtered Search: The safe parameter is set to “active” for secure searching.

Technical Risks and Controls

  • API quota limits must be carefully managed.
  • Very broad queries or high count values can affect performance.
  • When siteSearch is used, the relevant site must be indexed by Google.
