About
An easy-to-use, ad-free, commercial-grade search tool that lets you deliver the results you want. Build a customized search that fits your needs. The Bing Custom Search API gives you powerful ranking, a global-scale search index, and document processing with fast, simple setup. The core technology works in four steps—by identifying on-topic sites and images, providing automatic query suggestions, applying the Bing ranker, and delivering relevant search results. Adjust the parameters and access usage insights anytime. Define the parts of the web you want to draw from so users only see relevant results from the domains, subsites, and web pages you choose. Explore site suggestions to expand the scope of your search domain. And harness the full power of Bing’s global-scale search index to get a holistic view of searches and ranking. Create a compelling search experience for content, such as web pages, images, and even autosuggested words.

About
The Parallel Search API is a web-search tool engineered specifically for AI agents, designed from the ground up to provide the most information-dense, token-efficient context for large-language models and automated workflows. Unlike traditional search engines optimized for human browsing, this API supports declarative semantic objectives, allowing agents to specify what they want rather than merely keywords. It returns ranked URLs and compressed excerpts tailored for model context windows, enabling higher accuracy, fewer search steps, and lower token cost per result. Its infrastructure includes a proprietary crawler, live-index updates, freshness policies, domain-filtering controls, and SOC 2 Type 2 security compliance. The API is built to fit seamlessly within agent workflows: developers can control parameters like maximum characters per result, select custom processors, adjust output size, and orchestrate retrieval directly into AI reasoning pipelines.
