Gotchas

Default search type is "search" (web). Always specify type for non-web searches
Country and language codes affect result localization significantly
number controls results per page, not total results — use page for pagination
Time range (range) only applies to web search and news, not images or places
Image resolution (important for video / full-screen use): results include image_url (full-size), thumbnail_url, and image_width/image_height. Pass image_size: "large" (or a megapixel minimum like "4mp") to get sharp sources, and pick the result with the largest image_width×image_height. Always download image_url — never use thumbnail_url as a final asset (it is tiny and blurry).
Places search works best with location-specific queries (e.g., "restaurants near Times Square")
