IP WHOIS Search
Searches for q in the selected indices and returns up to 20 search results, starting from the start+1 document.
❗️ This method allows retrieving only the first 10,000 search results.
Use it when the expected number of results is relatively low or to craft and refine a query. Use the Download endpoint to fetch results without pagination or quantity limitations.
Query parameters

Use for pagination. Offset from the first search result to return.
A list of indice labels to search in. If not provided, the search will be performed in the default (most relevant index).
Call indices endpoint to get the list of available indices.
