## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to search official UK government content specifically — legislation, guidance, policy papers, news, and services published on GOV.UK. Prefer it over general web search when authoritative, official UK government sources are required (e.g. HMRC tax rules, immigration policy, NHS guidance). Not suitable for non-UK government content, academic sources, or real-time parliamentary proceedings.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a validation error
- Empty or very broad query may return up to 25 results but with low relevance
- Limit values outside 1–25 may be ignored or trigger an error
- GOV.UK content not indexed or recently published may not appear in results
- Network or upstream GOV.UK API unavailability returns a 5xx error
