Search Domain Filter

The search_domain_filter parameter allows you to limit search results to specific domains or exclude certain domains from search results. This supports domain-level filtering for precise content control.

You can add a maximum of 20 domains to the search_domain_filter list. The filter works in either allowlist mode (include only) or denylist mode (exclude), but not both simultaneously.

Domain filters allow you to specify which domains to include or exclude in search results. You can filter by specific domains, top-level domains (TLDs), or domain parts. You can specify up to 20 domains per request. Domains should be provided without the protocol (e.g., “nature.com” not “https://nature.com”).

Overview

The domain filter for the Search API allows you to control which sources appear in your search results by limiting them to specific domains or excluding certain domains. This is particularly useful when you need to:

• Focus research on authoritative or trusted sources
• Filter out specific domains from search results
• Search within specific publication networks or organizations
• Build domain-specific search applications
• Conduct competitive research within specific industry domains

The search_domain_filter parameter accepts an array of domain strings. The filter operates in two modes:

• Allowlist mode: Include only the specified domains (no - prefix)
• Denylist mode: Exclude the specified domains (use - prefix)

# Allowlist: Only search these domains
"search_domain_filter": ["nature.com", "science.org", "cell.com"]

# Denylist: Exclude these domains
"search_domain_filter": ["-reddit.com", "-pinterest.com", "-quora.com"]

Filtering Capabilities

Domain filters support flexible matching across different domain components:

Root Domain Filtering

Specify a root domain to match all content from that domain and its subdomains:

"search_domain_filter": ["wikipedia.org"]

This will match:

• en.wikipedia.org
• fr.wikipedia.org
• de.wikipedia.org
• Any other Wikipedia language subdomain

Top-Level Domain (TLD) Filtering

Filter by top-level domain to target specific categories of sites:

"search_domain_filter": [".gov"]

This will match all government domains:

• nasa.gov
• cdc.gov
• irs.gov
• Any other .gov domain

TLD filtering is particularly useful for targeting specific types of organizations, such as .gov for government sites, .edu for educational institutions, or country-specific TLDs like .uk or .ca.

Path Filtering

Add a path after a domain to limit (or exclude) results to one section of a site. The path is matched against the start of the URL’s path segments:

"search_domain_filter": ["nature.com/articles"]

This will match:

• nature.com/articles
• nature.com/articles/d41586-024-001
• the same path on any subdomain (e.g. blog.nature.com/articles)

It will not match:

• nature.com/news

Path filtering works in both allowlist and denylist mode. Prefix a path-qualified value with - to exclude a section of a site while still searching the rest of it:

# Only this section
"search_domain_filter": ["reddit.com/r/MachineLearning"]

# Everything on the site except this section
"search_domain_filter": ["-reddit.com/r/all"]

Path filtering matches on path-segment boundaries, so "example.com/docs" matches /docs and /docs/intro but not /documentation. Query strings are allowed after the path boundary (/docs?x=1 matches).

Domain Part Filtering

Any part of a domain can be used as a filter. The system will match domains containing that component.

companies with ≥40% projects in production is set to double in six months.\n...\nAI is delivering on efficiency and productivity, and twice as many leaders as last year are reporting transformative impact.\nBut just 34% are truly reimagining the business.\n### 3.\nAI fluency over role redesignroAI workforce impact remains low\nThe AI skills gap is seen as the biggest barrier to integration, and education—not role or workflow redesign—was the No. 1 way companies adjusted their talent strategies due to AI.\n...\nSovereign AI is when a country—and companies within it—deploy AI under their own laws, infrastructure, and data.\nIt's not just about ownership.\nIt's about strategic independence.\n### 5.\nAI agents outpace their guardrailspaThe oncoming surge in agentic AI\nAgentic AI usage is poised to rise sharply in the next two years, but oversight is lagging: Only one in five companies has a mature model for governance of autonomous AI agents.\n### 6.\nPhysical AI's fast-growing footprint fGaining traction by 22 percentage points in two years\nMore than half of companies (58%) report at least limited use of physical AI today, and that figure is set to reach 80% in two years—with Asia Pacific leading in early implementation.\n### 7.\n...\nCompared to last year, more companies (42%) believe their strategy is highly prepared for AI adoption—but they feel less prepared in terms of infrastructure, data, risk, and talent.\n## What's top of mind when it comes to AI in the enterprise?itAs they turn the corner to scale, leaders are asking about ROI, safe and ethical practices, workforce readiness, and tactical, go-to-market moves.\n...\nDigital transformation with AI can yield a variety of benefits for businesses, from cost savings to service delivery.\nImproving productivity and efficiency top the list of benefits achieved from enterprise AI adoption so far, with two-thirds (66%) of organizations reporting gains.\nOther benefits organizations reported achieving include:\n- Enhancing insights and decision-making (53%)\n- Reducing costs (40%)\n- Enhancing client/customer relationships (38%)\n- Improving products/services and fostering innovation (20%)\n- Increasing revenue (20%)\nRevenue growth largely remains an aspiration, with 74% of organizations hoping to grow revenue through their AI initiatives in the future compared to just 20% that are already doing so.\n...\nOne-third (34%) of surveyed organizations are starting to use AI to deeply transform—creating new products and services or reinventing core processes or business models.\nAnother third (30%) are redesigning key processes around AI.\nThe remaining third (37%) are using AI at a more surface level, with little or no change to existing processes.\nWhile each are capturing productivity and efficiency gains, only the first group are truly reimagining their businesses rather than optimizing what already exists.\nAdditionally, different types of AI technologies yield different expectations for impact.\n**Generative AI (GenAI):** The areas of GenAI that leaders believe will have the most impactful effects on their industries are:\n- Search and knowledge management\n- Virtual assistants/chatbots\n- Content generation\n**Agentic AI:** While agentic AI is expected to have the highest impact in customer support, use cases for supply chain management, R&D, knowledge management, and cybersecurity are also seen as having high potential.\nThe enterprises we interviewed are already deploying autonomous AI agents across diverse functions:\n- A financial services company is building agentic workflows to automatically capture meeting actions from video conferences, draft communications to remind participants of their commitments, and track follow-through.\n- An air carrier is using AI agents to help customers complete the most common transactions, such as rebooking a flight or rerouting bags, freeing up time for human agents to address more complex matters.\n- A manufacturer is using AI agents to support new product development initiatives, leveraging AI to find the optimal balance between competing objectives such as cost and time-to-market.\n- In the public sector, AI agents are being used to cover workforce shortages, partnering with human workers to complete key processes.\n**Physical AI:** Physical AI applications span a wide range of industrial and commercial settings.\nCommon use cases for physical AI include:\n- collaborative robots (cobots) on assembly lines\n- Inspection drones with automated response capabilities\n- Robotic picking arms\n- Autonomous forklifts\nAdoption is especially advanced in manufacturing, logistics, and defense, where robotics, autonomous vehicles, and drones are already reshaping operations.\n...\nAccording to the leaders surveyed, insufficient worker skills are the biggest barrier to integrating AI into existing workflows.\nThese are the top ways organizations are adjusting AI talent strategy:\n- Educating the broader workforce to raise overall AI fluency (53%)\n- Designing and implementing upskilling and reskilling strategies (48%)\n- Assessing target talent acquisition levels and hiring specialized talent to drive AI initiatives (36%)\n- Redesigning career paths and career mobility strategies (33%)\n- Assessing changes to the anticipated supply and demand of skills (30%)\n- Providing performance-based incentives for leveraging AI (30%)\n- Combining or reimagining organizations based on new patterns resulting from AI usage (30%)\n- Measuring worker trust and engagement (30%)\n- Changing the balance between full-time, contract, and gig workers (19%)\n...\nTrends and insights about AI in the enterprise vary from sector to sector, company to company.\nGet a tailored snapshot of your industry to understand where AI is making the biggest impact in your industry.\n...\n### Financial ServicesuDownload",

      "snippet": "The banking industry stands at a critical inflection point.\nAs we advance through 2025, artificial intelligence has evolved from experimental technology to a strategic imperative reshaping how financial institutions operate, serve customers, and manage risk.\n...\nThe numbers tell a compelling story.\nAccording to McKinsey's latest Global Survey on AI, [78% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function](https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/superagency-in-the-workplace-empowering-people-to-unlock-ais-full-potential-at-work), up from 72% in early 2024 and 55% a year earlier.\nMeanwhile, the financial services industry invested an estimated [$35 billion in AI](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1446366/leading-banks-in-ai-adoption-worldwide/) in 2023, with banking accounting for approximately $21 billion.\nThis investment is expected to generate substantial returns, [with AI contributing $2 trillion](https://www.statista.com/topics/7083/artificial-intelligence-ai-in-finance/) to the global economy through innovative investment strategies, better customer insights, and improved operational efficiency.\n...\nBased on nCino's experience with over 2,700 customers, including community banks, credit unions, independent mortgage banks, and the largest financial entities globally, three key priorities are driving AI adoption in 2025 and beyond:\n#### 1.\nOperational Efficiency: AI Shifts from Broad Automation to Workflow-Level Impact\nIn 2025, banks are moving past generic automation goals.\nThe focus now is on applying AI to specific, high-friction workflows — especially in lending, onboarding, and document-heavy processes.\nEfficiency is no longer about reducing headcount.\nIt’s about speeding up what still takes too long.\n#### Targeted AI Replaces One-Size-Fits-All Automation\nInstead of general-purpose tools, banks are deploying AI tuned to their internal workflows.\nThese applications help teams move faster with fewer manual steps.\nExamples:\n- Parsing tax returns or balance sheets to pre-fill borrower profiles\n- Prioritizing credit files based on deal complexity or risk level\n- Drafting loan memos from financial and historical deal data\n#### Queue Optimization Becomes a Strategic Advantage\nCycle time is still a pain point — and AI is helping by automating file assignment, surfacing bottlenecks, and routing based on business value.\nExamples:\n- Auto-assigning stalled deals to available underwriters\n- Flagging missing documentation before an analyst starts a review\n- Dynamically re-prioritizing workloads as queues shift\n...\n#### 2.\nRisk Management: AI as Strategic Defense\nAI revolutionizes risk management by transforming how institutions identify, assess, and mitigate threats.\nKey applications include:\n- **Fraud Detection:** Real-time transaction pattern analysis identifies anomalies with unprecedented accuracy and speed.\n- **Credit Risk Assessment:** Machine learning models predict defaults by analyzing customer behavior and transaction patterns more accurately than traditional methods.\n- **Cybersecurity:** In 2023, financial services experienced over 20,000 cyberattacks resulting in $2.5 billion in losses.\nAI-powered security systems detect and respond to threats in real-time.\n...\nBy strengthening these risk management capabilities, banks can confidently offer personalized financial products and services, knowing they have robust safeguards in place to protect both the institution and individual customers from evolving threats.\n#### 3.\nCustomer Experience: Personalizing Services at Scale\n[77% of banking leaders say personalization leads to boosted customer retention](https://dovetail.com/ux/customer-experience-in-banking-trends/), with AI enabling the personalized experiences that drive customer satisfaction and loyalty.\nAI enables personalized service delivery, 24/7 customer support through chatbots, predictive analytics for proactive solutions, and streamlined digital experiences.\nDespite these impressive stats, only 26% of companies have developed the necessary set of capabilities to move beyond proofs of concept and generate tangible value, [according to new research by Boston Consulting Group (BCG)](https://www.bcg.com/press/24october2024-ai-adoption-in-2024-74-of-companies-struggle-to-achieve-and-scale-value).\nSuccess requires strategic implementation focusing on four key factors:\n- **Risk-proportionate governance** that matches oversight intensity to actual risk levels, from low-risk internal automation requiring 1-2 day approvals to high-risk automated decisions demanding comprehensive review\n- **Accelerated implementation timelines** where leading institutions follow streamlined roadmaps from governance foundation through production deployment\n- **Human-in-the-loop design** that maintains human oversight as a core principle while capturing efficiency benefits\n- **Executive leadership engagement** that significantly reduces approval timeframes by providing necessary decision-making authority for rapid implementation.\nTogether, these strategic approaches enable banks to deploy AI solutions that can analyze customer data, predict needs, and deliver personalized experiences at the scale and speed required to compete in today's digital banking landscape.\n...\n75% of banks with over $100 billion in assets are expected to fully integrate AI strategies by 2025.\nEmerging trends include agentic AI for complex tasks, multimodal AI processing multiple data types, and federated learning for privacy-preserving collaboration.\nRegulatory evolution will bring more specific AI requirements focusing on algorithmic transparency, standardized risk frameworks, and enhanced consumer protection.\nTo fully embrace these opportunities, financial institutions must:\n- **Develop a Comprehensive AI Strategy:** Start with clear business objectives aligned with efficiency, risk management, or customer experience priorities.\n...\nThe AI transformation of banking is accelerating rapidly.\nThis growth will contribute $2 trillion to the global economy through innovative strategies and improved efficiency.\nFinancial institutions that embrace AI responsibly and rapidly – with proper governance, risk management, and customer focus – will thrive in the digital future.",

      "snippet": "In financial services, AI is no longer a futuristic idea — it’s part of daily business.\nBy 2027, the sector is expected to spend nearly $100B on AI.\nBut this excitement is tempered by legacy systems, governance requirements, and hard-to-measure ROI.\nA new wave of startups is emerging to overcome these hurdles while preserving the control, compliance, and precision that financial institutions require.\n...\n## Broadly bullish, but ROI remains uncertain and hard to quantify\nFinancial institutions are excited about AI, but the ROI is hard to measure, and leaders expect clearer results:\n> *“There’s a healthy amount of skepticism around how much efficiency AI can truly deliver.\nThe potential productivity gains are real, but it’s my job to separate substance from noise to determine what will actually deliver impact.”\n*\n*— Jennifer Charters, EVP and CIO at Lincoln Financial*\nMost now view AI as a useful tool that can create leverage in targeted areas, but not a universal fix.\nSo, firms are increasingly selective in their approach and prioritizing companies that can show measurable ROI.\n## AI push is both top-down and bottom-up\nBoards and senior executives see peers touting AI initiatives at conferences and earnings calls, and public markets are rewarding firms that can show credible strategies.\nNo one wants to be left behind, so the top-down push toward AI has become as much about optics as efficiency.\nHowever, the push isn’t just top-down.\nEmployees want tools that reduce manual work, putting real pressure on procurement and IT teams to move quickly:\n> *“Front-line teams are pushing for automation to make their lives easier while leadership pushes for AI strategy.\nThe two forces have started to reinforce to drive real AI adoption.*”\n*— Dan Zinkin, former CIO Global Investment & Corporate Banking at J.P.\nMorgan & Head of AI and Data at InvestCloud*\nThe result is a rare alignment across the org chart — many want AI, even if for different reasons.\n## Main AI use cases today are productivity-oriented\n### Investment knowledge management\nFor investment and research teams, AI is chipping away at the hunt for information.\nAnalysts and portfolio managers typically spend hours gathering documents and parsing filings.\nStill, firms are now deploying internal search and summarization tools that surface relevant content — from research notes and client decks to compliance filings and meeting transcripts.\nPlatforms like Rogo, Metal, and Reflexivity make proprietary knowledge searchable in natural language rather than buried in disparate drives.\n### Developer efficiency\nAI is changing how developers write and maintain code, from boilerplate generation to code conversion and documentation.\nMore AI-suggested code now reaches production, which is particularly useful in financial services, where many systems still rely on Common Business-Oriented Language (COBOL) and mainframes maintained by a shrinking pool of experts.\nAs a result, modernization is slow and risky.\nSwimm* and CoreStory help teams understand the business logic of code inside legacy systems.\n### Customer service\nAI is speeding up customer support by giving Agents access to internal documents, past interactions, and policy information, replacing time-consuming searches through PDFs and emails.\nLeaders say these tools don’t replace humans but make service faster and more consistent.\nWonderful*, for example, uses Agents to power voice and text support and is seeing early success in financial services, while Glia* applies AI to automate and analyze customer interactions across banks and credit unions.\nJump is vertically focused on financial advisors and uses AI to manage client conversations across onboarding and ongoing relationship needs.\n## Agentic adoption is early but expanding\nComfort with AI Agents varies, but many firms are exploring them.\nSome, like BNY, are running dozens of agentic workflows in production:\n> *“We have over 100 agentic digital employees doing everything from enhancing code to validating payment instructions.\nThis AI workforce allows for a different level of collaboration and productivity.”\n...\n*— Julie Gerdeman, Global Head of Data and Analytics at BNY*\nSome firms are piloting Agents internally but avoiding client-facing use, while more conservative institutions are holding back altogether due to regulatory concerns and Agent unpredictability.\nCrewAI*, Relevance AI*, and Tavily* all enable the orchestration and deployment of AI Agents.\nDespite differing comfort levels, Agents are now seen as the next phase of enterprise AI, and even hesitant firms are laying the groundwork for future use.\n## Business units drive strategy while the central org enables\nAcross most institutions, AI strategy is business-led, centrally governed.\nBusiness units identify use cases and set priorities, while the central technology teams manage vendors, negotiate contracts, and ensure firmwide standards are met:\n> *“Ideas need sponsorship from the business unit.\nEvery AI use case requires a clear business owner who partners with the central tech team to drive execution and implementation.”*\n*— Ericson Chan, CIO at Zurich Insurance*\nThis structure creates a necessary balance.\nIt gives front-line teams the ability to move quickly while keeping AI aligned with enterprise risk frameworks.\n...\nThe human side of AI adoption can sometimes prove harder than the technical one.\nDespite AI’s potential to streamline work, many employees don’t trust the tools, creating cultural resistance:\n...\nLeaders are responding with internal training, documentation, and AI literacy initiatives designed to show the goal of enhancing, not eliminating, human work.\n...\nCounterintuitively, the pace of AI innovation has made some technology leaders cautious.\nFirms worry about adopting a solution, embedding it across the organization, only to realize it’s obsolete just months later.\nAs a result, teams are wary of tools that create vendor lock-in and are piloting more options to avoid becoming dependent on any single provider.\n...\nFinancial institutions still lack the pipes to unify data across different systems:\n...\nMany banks still keep large volumes of untagged or on-premise data, meaning only a small share is truly AI-ready.\nData cleanup is time-consuming, and rising data volumes make the problem worse, paving the way for improvements throughout the data organization.\n...\nMany leaders now view stronger data hygiene as the essential prerequisite for unlocking AI’s potential.\n...\nFinancial institutions operate under heavy regulatory scrutiny, and uncertainty around LLM behavior makes compliance teams uneasy.\nBecause these systems are inherently nondeterministic, they don’t align easily with workflows that require consistent, auditable results.\nMost firms still lack standardized frameworks to assess accuracy, trace model reasoning, or measure performance against regulatory expectations.\nFiddler* and Arize improve transparency and auditability across AI/ML models.\nCymphony helps companies monitor how employees use data and tools, enabling them to prevent internal security risks as they adopt AI.\nAnd tools like Harmony provide proactive, intelligent IT management with built-in compliance controls, helping firms maintain auditable workflows as they use AI.\nUntil clearer rules and stronger control mechanisms emerge, governance will continue to define the speed and scope of AI adoption.\nAs AI becomes embedded in financial services, the real opportunity belongs to companies that can deliver practical, governed, and measurable value to institutions.",

governed by the Schrödinger equation.\nNotable principles of quantum mechanics, such as wave-particle duality and the uncertainty principle, challenge classical physics.\nQuantum phenomena like tunnelling and entanglement enable groundbreaking technologies, including quantum computing and cryptography.\nThe origins of quantum theory can be traced back to pivotal contributions by Max Planck, Albert Einstein, and others.\n...\nQuantum physics, the branch of science that investigates the behaviour of matter and energy at the smallest scales, introduces a groundbreaking framework where classical mechanics no longer apply.\nAt the core of this field lies the concept of quantisation, where particles such as electrons are described by discrete packets referred to as quanta.\nThese quantum objects are governed by probabilistic wave functions and the Schrödinger equation, allowing them to exist in multiple states simultaneously—an idea recognised as superposition.\nOne of the intriguing phenomena in quantum physics is quantum tunnelling, where particles pass through potential barriers that would be insurmountable in classical physics.\n...\nQuantum decoherence describes the process by which a quantum system loses its superposition state due to interaction with its environment, shifting it to a classical state.\nThis phenomenon is a significant challenge in the development of quantum computing, where maintaining coherence is essential for performing calculations that far exceed the capabilities of classical computers.\nQuantum teleportation, another fascinating concept, involves the transfer of quantum information between particles over distance, leveraging the phenomenon of entanglement.\n...\nThese collective efforts culminated in the formulation of quantum mechanics, a probabilistic framework that profoundly altered our understanding of particle behaviour and interactions at the microscopic level.\n...\nOne of the most intriguing aspects of quantum mechanics is wave-particle duality, which posits that particles such as electrons exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties.\nThis concept challenges the classical physics paradigm by demonstrating that particles can exhibit wave characteristics, such as interference patterns, a phenomenon traditionally attributed solely to waves.\n...\nSuperposition and entanglement are cornerstones of quantum mechanics.\nThey present phenomena that defy classical intuition and underpin the field’s most revolutionary advancements.\nIn quantum physics, superposition refers to the ability of quantum particles to exist in multiple states simultaneously.\nThis property is pivotal in quantum computing, where quantum bits, or qubits, harness superposition to perform complex computations in parallel, leading to exponential speedups in solving certain problems compared to classical computers.\nQuantum entanglement, another fundamental concept, occurs when particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one particle instantly influences the state of another, regardless of the distance separating them.\nThis phenomenon, known as quantum entanglement, is instrumental in the development of quantum communication and quantum information processing.\n...\nThe Schrödinger Equation stands as a cornerstone in quantum mechanics, offering a profound mathematical framework for understanding the dynamic behaviour of quantum systems.\n...\nAt the heart of the Schrödinger Equation is the concept of the wave function.\n...\nThe Uncertainty Principle, a cornerstone of quantum mechanics formulated by Werner Heisenberg, delineates the fundamental limitations in simultaneously measuring certain pairs of complementary properties, such as a particle’s position and momentum, with arbitrary precision.\nThis principle underscores the quantum uncertainty inherent in particle dynamics, challenging the classical physics notion that such properties can be measured with exactitude.\nHeisenberg’s principle asserts that the more precisely one knows a particle’s position, the less precisely one can know its momentum, and vice versa.\n...\nConsequently, any attempt to measure one property with high precision inevitably disturbs the other, introducing an intrinsic quantum uncertainty.\nAt its core, the Uncertainty Principle fundamentally alters our understanding of predictability and measurability at the quantum level.\nIt implies that there is a limit to the precision with which we can simultaneously know a particle’s position and momentum.\nThis limit is not due to experimental imperfections but a fundamental property of nature itself, rooted in the principles of quantum mechanics.\n...\nQuantum physics fundamentally challenges classical conceptions of reality by introducing phenomena such as superposition, wave-particle duality, and probabilistic behaviour.",

      "snippet": "Quantum mechanics was developed in just two years, 1925 and 1926 (see here if you want to know why).\nThere were initially two versions, one formulated by Werner Heisenberg and one by Erwin Schrödinger.\n...\nDe Broglie figured that\nwhat goes for light might go for matter too: perhaps tiny\nbuilding blocks of matter, such as electrons, might also suffer from this\n*wave particle duality*.\n...\nOrdinary waves, such as those that can travel down a piece of\nstring, can be described mathematically.\nYou can formulate a\n*wave\nequation*, which describes how a particular wave\nchanges over space and time.\nA solution to that equation is a *wave\nfunction*, which describes the shape of the wave at every point in\ntime.\n...\nA solution to Schrödinger's equation is called a\n*wave\nfunction*.\nIt tells you things about the *quantum system* you\nare considering.\n...\nAs an example, imagine a single particle moving around in a closed box.\nSolving the wave equation which\ndescribes this system, you get the corresponding wave function.\nOne\nthing the wave function doesn't tell you is where exactly the particle\nwill be at each point in time of its journey.\n...\nWhat the wave function does give you is a number (generally a\n*complex number*) for each\npoint *x* in the box at each point *t* in time of the particle's journey.\nIn\n1926 the physicist Max Born came up with an interpretation of this\nnumber: after a slight modification, it gives you the probability of\nfinding the particle at the point *x* at time *t*.\nWhy\na probability?\nBecause unlike an ordinary billiard ball, which obeys the\nclassical laws of physics, our particle doesn't have a clearly defined trajectory that leads it to a particular point.\nWhen we open the box and look, we *will*\nfind it at one particular point, but there's no way of predicting in\nadvance which one it is.\nAll we have are probabilities.\nThat's the\nfirst strange prediction of the theory: the world, at bottom, is not\nas certain as our everyday experience of billiard balls has us\nbelieve.\nA second strange prediction follows straight on from the first.\nIf we don't open the box and spot the particle in a particular location, then where is it?\nThe answer is that it's in all the places we could have potentially seen it in at once.\n...\nSuppose you have found a wave function that is a solution to Schrödinger's\nequation and describes our particle being in some location in the box.\nNow there might be another wave function\nwhich is also a solution to the same equation, but describes the\nparticle being in another part of the box.\nAnd here's the thing: if\nyou add these two different wave functions, the sum is also a\nsolution!\nSo, if the particle being in one place is a solution and the\nparticle being in another place is a solution, then the particle being in the first place and the second place is also a solution.\nIn this sense, the particle can\nbe said to be in several places at once.\nIt's called\n*quantum\nsuperposition* (and it's the inspiration for Schrödinger's famous thought experiment involving a cat).\n...\nAs we have seen, it's impossible to\npredict where\nour particle in the box is going be when we measure\nit.\nThe same goes for any other thing you might want to measure about the particle, for example its momentum: all you can do is work out the probability that the momentum takes each of several possible values.\nTo work out from the wave function what those possible values of position and momentum are, you need mathematical objects called\n*operators*.\n...\nWhen we have performed the measurement, say of position, the particle is most\ndefinitely in a single place.\nThis means that its wave function has\nchanged (collapsed) to a wave function describing a particle that is\ndefinitely in one particular place with 100% certainty.\n...\nIf you were to measure momentum and position simultaneously, and get certain answers for both, then the two eigenstates corresponding to position and momentum would have to be the same.\nIt's a mathematical fact, however, that the eigenstates of these two operators never do coincide.\nJust as 3+2 will never make 27, so don't the mathematical operators corresponding to position and momentum behave in a way that would allow them to have coinciding eigenstates.\nTherefore, position and momentum can never be measured simultaneously with arbitrary accuracy.\n(For those familiar with some of the technicalities, the eigenstates cannot be the same because the operators don't commute.)\nAs we know from experience, superposition disappears when we look\nat a particle.\nNobody has ever directly seen a single particle in several places at once.\n...\nAnother thing that comes straight out of the maths of Schrödinger's equation is\nHeisenberg's famous\n*uncertainty principle*.\nThe principle says that\nyou can never, ever measure both the position and the momentum of\na quantum object, like our particle in a box, with arbitrary precision.\nThe\nmore precise you are about the one, the less you can say about the\nother.\nThis isn't because your measurement tools aren't good enough —\nit's a fact of nature.\n...\nPosition and momentum aren't the only\n*observables* that\ncan't be measured simultaneously with arbitrary accuracy.\nTime and\nenergy are another pair: the more precise you are about the time span\nsomething happens in the less precise you can be about the energy of\nthat something and vice versa.\nFor this reason, particles can acquire\nenergy from out of nowhere for very brief moments of time, something\nthat's impossible in ordinary life — it's called *quantum\n...\nAnd here's another quantum strangeness arising from the wave\nfunction:\n*entanglement*.\nA wave function can also describe a\nsystem of many particles.\nSometimes it is impossible to decompose the\nwave function into components that correspond to the individual\nparticles.\nWhen that happens, the particles become inextricably\nlinked, even if they move far away from each other.\nWhen something happens to one of the entangled particles, a corresponding thing happens to its distant partner, a phenomenon Einstein described as \"spooky action at a distance\".",

Restrict results to a specific path on a domain — useful for documentation sites, subreddits, blogs, or news sections:

Python

from perplexity import Perplexity

client = Perplexity()

# Only results under nature.com/articles
response = client.search.create(
    query="CRISPR base editing clinical results",
    max_results=10,
    search_domain_filter=["nature.com/articles"]
)

for result in response.results:
    print(f"{result.title}: {result.url}")

import Perplexity from '@perplexity-ai/perplexity_ai';

const client = new Perplexity();

// Only results under nature.com/articles
const response = await client.search.create({
  query: "CRISPR base editing clinical results",
  max_results: 10,
  search_domain_filter: ["nature.com/articles"]
});

for (const result of response.results) {
  console.log(`${result.title}: ${result.url}`);
}

curl -X POST 'https://api.perplexity.ai/search' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $PERPLEXITY_API_KEY' \

prototype redefining stability itself—2025 has become the year quantum hardware finally starts looking like real, scalable computing.\nIn this video, you’ll discover nine groundbreaking developments that are reshaping how scientists, engineers, and entire industries think about computation.\nLearn how circuit knitting lets small chips solve massive problems, how Google’s Willow processor achieved unheard-of stability, and how quantum spin echoes are unlocking molecular secrets classical computers can’t touch.\nThese milestones aren’t just academic—they’re the foundation of the next technological revolution.\nCloud giants, research labs, and startups are proving that quantum computing is shifting from laboratory demos to practical tools for chemistry, finance, and materials science.\nThe race isn’t about qubit counts anymore—it’s about reliability, scalability, and who can make the quantum future actually usable.\n...\nBut in 2025, they quietly took a significant\n{ts:46} step that puts them in the same competitive conversation as IBM and Google in an entirely different arena.\n{ts:54} Quantum computing AWS introduced a superconducting quantum chip called Ocelot, marking Amazon's first\n{ts:62} proprietary quantum processor.\nFor years, Amazon's quantum platform called Bracket allowed scientists and\n{ts:69} researchers to run experiments on hardware manufactured by other companies like ion, Reetti, and Xanadu.\nNow they\n{ts:77} have their own processor sitting inside their research labs.\n...\nBut what genuinely matters\n{ts:90} here is that a major cloud computing provider is now building physical quantum hardware instead of just renting\n{ts:96} access to someone else's technology.\n...\nQuantum chips available\n{ts:138} today are genuinely powerful for specific tasks, but they're not huge by the standards needed for solving the\n...\nInstead of waiting patiently for a thousand cubit machines\n{ts:165} to be developed over the next decade, researchers started using something called circuit knitting.\nIt sounds\n...\n{ts:177} intelligently cut it into smaller, manageable pieces, run those pieces simultaneously on multiple separate\n{ts:183} quantum chips, and then let classical computers stitch all the results together mathematically.\nIn 2025, this\n{ts:190} approach stopped being purely theoretical research and turned into real practical tools that scientists can\n{ts:196} actually use.\nPlatforms like KisKit, CIRC, and AWS Bracket now support circuit knitting natively in their\n{ts:202} software.\nEarly demonstrations successfully showed that molecular energy calculations that used to be\n{ts:208} completely too large for a single quantum chip can now run distributed across multiple devices.\nIt's definitely\n{ts:215} slower than running everything on one massive processor would be, but it works reliably.\nMore importantly, it helps\n{ts:222} researchers test real quantum algorithms on actual hardware today rather than waiting potentially years for\n{ts:228} significantly larger processors to arrive from manufacturers.\n...\nIn 2025, Google pushed its 105 cubit Willow processor through extensive longduration\n{ts:258} repeated stress tests to determine if it could maintain stability under demanding conditions.\n...\n{ts:282} The chip successfully held quantum coherence through extended sequences of operations and thousands of experimental\n{ts:289} cycles without collapsing.\nThis represents genuinely important progress because early quantum processors often\n{ts:296} lost accuracy catastrophically when computational tasks became complicated or lengthy.\nWith Willow, researchers\n{ts:303} successfully ran quantum simulations for physics experiments and tested quantum machine learning models without the chip\n{ts:311} falling apart mid-run and losing all data.\n...\nWillow's test results demonstrated that superconducting cubits can handle real\n{ts:336} repeated work, which represents a critical step toward more reliable quantum hardware.\n...\n{ts:356} Quantum system 2 is a full modular setup featuring multiple cryogenic refrigerators, specialized racks for\n{ts:363} quantum chips, fast classical control servers, and networking infrastructure built into one integrated platform.\n...\nIn late 2024 and\n...\n{ts:462} It represents one of the first serious attempts to transform quantum hardware into something that operates like an\n{ts:469} actual computing cluster, not a single experimental device that requires constant babysitting by PhD physicists.\n{ts:477} Noise represents the biggest enemy of quantum hardware performance.\n...\nIBM's Heron processor was engineered\n{ts:490} specifically to solve exactly that challenge.\nIt contains 133 superconducting cubits and the key\n{ts:496} distinguishing feature is something called tunable couplers.\nThese couplers precisely control which cubits\n{ts:502} communicate with each other and when they remain isolated and quiet.\nEarly testing demonstrated Heron can deliver\n{ts:509} roughly three to five times better performance than IBM's previous generation processors because the\n{ts:515} quantum signals are dramatically cleaner.\nLess cross talk directly translates to fewer errors during\n{ts:521} execution of complex algorithms.\nHeron is also specifically designed for modular systems so multiple processors\n...\n{ts:556} Instead of building progressively larger chips following the same superconducting architecture everyone else uses,\n{ts:563} Microsoft is pursuing a fundamentally different approach.\nTheir Majorana 1 chip is based on topological cubits\n{ts:570} which use exotic quantum states that are theoretically more stable than ordinary cubits.\nThe underlying idea is that\n{ts:578} these cubits are naturally protected from certain types of noise because of the mathematical way quantum information\n{ts:584} is stored in the system.\nThe major one device is a small prototype, not a huge processor, but the architecture matters\n{ts:592} enormously for the future.\n...\nMicrosoft's approach aims to dramatically shrink that gap.\nMajorana 1\n{ts:620} will not replace existing quantum platforms overnight, but it demonstrates a viable path towards stable cubits that\n{ts:626} hold their quantum state considerably longer, which remains one of the biggest technical challenges in quantum\n{ts:632} computing.\n...\nIn 2025, researchers demonstrated a\n{ts:646} new technique using quantum manybody nuclear spin echoes functioning as a kind of molecular ruler.\nThe idea is to\n{ts:654} measure the precise geometry of molecules with extremely high accuracy.\nClassical methods including spectroscopy\n{ts:661} and electron microscopy can struggle with certain molecular structures because the signals overlap or the\n{ts:667} sample size is too small.\nQuantum spin echoes can probe interactions inside a molecule in ways classical sensors\n{ts:675} physically cannot.\nThis doesn't mean quantum computers replace chemistry laboratories, but it expands\n{ts:681} dramatically what scientists can measure.\n...\nIt's a quiet breakthrough that doesn't generate mainstream\n{ts:693} headlines, but it shows that quantum technology is not limited to computing tasks.",

Parameter Reference

search_domain_filter

• Type: Array of strings
• Format:
  • Domain names without protocol, optionally with a path (e.g., “example.com” or “example.com/blog”)
  • Prefix with - for denylisting (e.g., “-reddit.com” or “-reddit.com/r/all”)
• Description: Filters search results to include or exclude content from specified domains
• Optional: Yes
• Maximum: 20 domains per request
• Modes:
  • Allowlist mode: Include only specified domains (no - prefix)
  • Denylist mode: Exclude specified domains (use - prefix)
• Example:
  • Allowlist: "search_domain_filter": ["nature.com", "science.org", "arxiv.org/abs"]
  • Denylist: "search_domain_filter": ["-reddit.com", "-pinterest.com", "-quora.com/topic"]

Domain Format Guidelines

Correct Domain Formats:

• "nature.com" - Root domain (matches nature.com and all subdomains)
• "blog.example.com" - Specific subdomain
• "nature.com/articles" - Domain + path prefix (matches that section and its subpaths)
• "arxiv.org" - Root domain (matches all subdomains)
• ".gov" - Top-level domain (matches all .gov sites)
• ".edu" - Top-level domain (matches all .edu sites)
• ".uk" - Country-code TLD (matches all .uk sites)
• "wikipedia.org" - Matches en.wikipedia.org, fr.wikipedia.org, etc.
• "-reddit.com" - Exclude entire domain and all subdomains
• "-pinterest.com" - Exclude entire domain and all subdomains
• "-.gov" - Exclude all .gov domains

Incorrect Domain Formats:

• ❌ "https://nature.com" - Don’t include protocol
• ❌ "www.nature.com" - Avoid www prefix (use root domain)

Best Practices

Domain Selection Strategy

• Use Root Domains for Broad Coverage: Specify root domains (e.g., “wikipedia.org”) to match all subdomains automatically, including different language versions and regional sites.
• Use TLDs for Categorical Filtering: Target specific organization types with TLD filters like .gov for government, .edu for education, or .org for non-profits.
• Be Specific When Needed: Choose specific domains that are directly relevant to your search query to ensure high-quality results.
• Quality Over Quantity: Using fewer, highly relevant domains often produces better results than maximizing the 20-domain limit.
• Consider Domain Authority: Prioritize authoritative sources in your field for more reliable information.
• Choose Your Mode: Use either allowlist mode (include only) OR denylist mode (exclude), but not both in the same request. Denylisting is useful when you want broad search coverage but need to exclude specific low-quality or irrelevant sources.

Locale and Regional Targeting

While domain filters don’t directly filter by user location, you can target specific locales using:

• Country-code TLDs: Use filters like .uk, .ca, .de, .jp to target country-specific domains
• Subdomain matching: Specify regional subdomains when available (e.g., “uk.domain.com”)
• Combined approach: Mix country TLDs with specific trusted domains for precise regional filtering

For international research, combine TLD filtering with the search_language_filter parameter to refine results by both location and language.

Domain Selection

• Use Trusted Sources: Select a specific set of trusted sources you want to search within (e.g., academic research, official documentation).
• Leverage TLD Filtering: When researching topics that span many sites of the same type, use TLD filters to cast a wider net (e.g., .gov for policy research).
• Focus on Quality: Choose authoritative domains that consistently provide reliable information relevant to your queries.

Client-Side Validation

Validate domain formats on the client side before sending requests:

Python

import re

def validate_domain(domain):
    """Validate domain format including TLD filters."""
    # TLD filter (e.g., .gov, .edu)
    if domain.startswith('.'):
        tld_pattern = r'^\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$'
        return bool(re.match(tld_pattern, domain))
    
    # Standard domain validation pattern
    pattern = r'^[a-zA-Z0-9]([a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]([a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,61}[a-zA-Z0-9])?)*$'
    return bool(re.match(pattern, domain))

def validate_domain_filter(domains):
    """Validate domain filter array."""
    if len(domains) > 20:
        raise ValueError("Maximum 20 domains allowed")

    for domain in domains:
        if not validate_domain(domain):
            raise ValueError(f"Invalid domain format: {domain}")

      "snippet": "# Gene Editing Therapy Shows Success Against Severe Sickle Cell Disease\nNearly all patients have achieved a functional cure\n## Media Contact\n...\nNew results from a clinical trial show promising outcomes for a gene-edited treatment for severe sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder with few curative options.\nConducted as part of the multicenter RUBY Trial, researchers published their latest findings in the New England Journal of Medicine.\nRemarkably, 27 out of 28 patients did not have any painful sickle cell crises after treatment, achieving what physicians call a \"functional cure.\"\nIn the trial, patients were treated with an experimental one-time gene editing cell therapy – Renizgamglogene autogedtemcel (reni-cel) – that modifies a patient’s own blood-forming stem cells to correct the mutation responsible for sickle cell disease.\nThe novel therapy increases levels of fetal hemoglobin – which prevents red blood cells from forming into sickle-shaped cells – and improves overall hemoglobin levels, reducing complications from the disease.\n“We have seen that a benefit of this CRISPR/Cas12a gene-editing technology is that there is no rejection, so it's different from traditional bone marrow transplants, which is standard treatment for sickle cell patients currently,” says Rabi Hanna, M.D., lead author and chair of the Pediatric Hematology – Oncology & Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant Division at Cleveland Clinic Children’s.\n“Our aim has been to achieve a functional cure to help prevent any future damage caused by sickle cell disease, and these latest results are compelling.”\n...\nThe results showed that most patients saw key blood cells recover within a month after treatment and by six months, average total hemoglobin levels rose to 13.8 g/dL, up from 9.8 g/dL before treatment – a level closer to what is seen in people without sickle cell disease.\nThe average level of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) was 48.1%, and these levels remained stable over time.",

      "snippet": "Researchers Publish Final Results of Key Clinical Trial for Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease\n...\nIn a landmark study, an international consortium led by researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) published the final results of a key clinical trial of the gene therapy CASGEVY (exagamglogene autotemcel) for the treatment of sickle cell disease in patients 12 years and older with recurrent vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs).\nThe study found that 96.7% of patients in the study did not have any vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) – a blockage that results in lack of oxygen and painful episodes – for at least one year, and 100% were able to remain hospitalization-free for the same length of time.\nThe findings, published today in the *New England Journal of Medicine*, provide the complete details of the critical clinical trial that led to the FDA approval of CASGEVY™ for the treatment of sickle cell disease in December 2023.\n...\nResearchers have been studying the use of gene therapy and CRISPR technology to edit portions of DNA in people with inherited or genetic disorders, like sickle cell disease.\nIn the case of sickle cell disease, the CASGEVY process edits DNA within the patient’s own cells and enables the patient to produce a different form of hemoglobin in their red blood cells.\nClinical trials at CHOP and other sites have shown that successful gene editing can prevent cells from developing the distinctive crescent shape apparent in sickle cell disease and have eliminated pain episodes in almost all patients.\nCASGEVY was the first FDA-approved therapy developed with CRISPR technology.\n“In this clinical trial, sickle cell patients who were having significant issues with their disease began to see their problems resolve within months and improve their quality of life significantly,” said senior study author Stephan A. Grupp, MD, PhD, Section Chief of the Cellular Therapy and Transplant Section, Inaugural Director of the Susan S. and Stephen P. Kelly Center for Cancer Immunotherapy, and Medical Director of the Cell and Gene Therapy Laboratory at CHOP.\nGrupp was also one of the principal investigators in the clinical trials that led to the approval of CASGEVY and the leader of the study’s steering committee.\nThe researchers conducted the CLIMB SCD-121 trial, a phase 3, single-arm, open-label study of exa-cel in patients between 12 and 35 years old with sickle cell disease and at least two severe VOCs in each of the two years before screening.\nThe key primary endpoint of the study was a proportion of patients without severe VOCs for at least 12 consecutive months, with a secondary endpoint of patients who were free from inpatient hospitalization for severe VOCs for at least 12 consecutive months.\nA total of 44 patients received exa-cel with a median follow up of 19.3 months.\nIn a total of 30 patients with sufficient follow-up data to be evaluated, 29 (96.7%) were free of VOCs for at least 12 consecutive months.\nThis information is an update for the US Prescribing Information for CASGEVY, which includes an evaluation of 31 patients resulting in a response rate of 93.5%.\nThe safety of treatment was comparable to treatment with hematopoietic and progenitor stem cells, and no malignancies were reported as a result of treatment.\n...\nAdditionally, the results of a clinical trial on the efficacy of exa-cel for the treatment of β-thalassemia were also published today in the *New England Journal of Medicine*.\nThe preliminary results of the trial led to the FDA approval of CASGEVY for transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia in January 2024.\n...\n215-590-3025\n...\n267-426-0762",

Performance Considerations

• Result Availability: Narrowing to specific domains may reduce the number of available results. Be prepared to handle cases where fewer results are returned than requested.
• Domain Coverage: Ensure the domains you specify actually contain content relevant to your query. Overly restrictive filters may return zero results.
• Combination Effects: Domain filters combined with other restrictive filters (date, language) can significantly reduce result counts.

For best results, combine domain filtering with other filters like search_recency_filter or search_language_filter to narrow down your search to highly relevant, timely content from your target sources. Use TLD filters like .gov or .edu when you need broad coverage across an entire category of authoritative sites.
