[](#usage)

Create an object and call the function getResults to get first 10 results

```
$textresult = new LaravelSearchEngine(); // initialize
$results = $textresult->getResults('search text'); // get first 10 results for query 'search text'
```

```
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use AmarK\LaravelSearchEngine\LaravelSearchEngine;

class GoogleSearchController extends Controller
{

  public function index(){
    $textResult = new LaravelSearchEngine(); // initialize
    $results = $textResult->getResults('search text'); // get first 10 results for query 'search text'
  }
}
```

```
$parameters = array(
    'start' => 10 // start from the 10th results,
    'num' => 10 // number of results to get, 10 is maximum and also default value
)

$textresult = new LaravelSearchEngine(); // initialize
$results = $textresult->getResults('search text', $parameters); // get second 10 results for query 'search text'
```

```
$textResult = new LaravelSearchEngine(); // initialize
$results = $textResult->getResults('search text'); // get first 10 results for query 'search text'
$rawResults = $textResult->getRawResults(); // get complete response from Google
```

For getting the number of results only use

```
$textResult = new LaravelSearchEngine(); // initialize
$results =  $textResult->getResults('search text'); // get first 10 results for query 'search text'
$noOfResults = $textResult->getTotalNumberOfResults(); // get total number of results (it can be less than 10)
```

If you have more engines / more api keys, you can override the config variables with following functions

```
$textResult = new LaravelSearchEngine(); // initialize

$textResult->setEngineId('someEngineId'); // sets the engine ID
$textResult->setApiKey('someApiId'); // sets the API key

$results =  $textResult->getResults('search text'); // get first 10 results for query 'search text'
```

If looking for only Search URl, Title & Description. By Default only 10 results are given

```
$textResult = new LaravelSearchEngine(); // initialize
$results =  $textResult->getResults('search text'); // get first 10 results for query 'search text'
$fewResults =  $textResult->getFewDetails(); // get first 10 results for query 'search text'
```
