## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web search results specifically scoped to vendor and supplier discovery for research team contexts, rather than a static directory or database lookup. It is best when the user wants fresh public information about vendors rather than curated or historical datasets.

## Known failure modes

- Query too vague returns unrelated vendor pages
- DuckDuckGo rate limiting or unavailability causes empty or error response
- max_results out of allowed range (1–10) triggers validation error
- No relevant vendors indexed by DuckDuckGo for a highly niche query
