## What it is
A Python library that performs Google web searches programmatically and returns result URLs, without using an official Google API. It is unofficial and not affiliated with Google.

- collect search result links for research
- find pages matching a query programmatically

## When to choose

- you only need URLs from search results, not structured metadata
- lightweight scraping of Google results is acceptable for your use case

## When to avoid
- you need a reliable, ToS-compliant solution at scale
- you need structured results like snippets, titles, or rankings
- you cannot tolerate breakage when Google changes its HTML
