## How this service works

Perplexity — web search over Perplexity's own retrieval index, the one behind its answer engine, returning ranked results with snippets plus `date` and `last_updated` per hit. Pass `query`; optional `max_results` (1-10), `search_recency_filter` (hour|day|week|month|year), `country` (ISO-2), `max_tokens_per_page` (trim the excerpt), `search_domain_filter` (array of domains to include, or `-domain.com` to exclude). The freshness signal is the differentiator — results carry when the page was last …
