to the default search interface's uq query-string variable
(here).depthQuery - the maximum depth that would be allowed.
Supplying a value of 3 would only return pages that are no more
than 3 clicks away from a Base URL. Corresponds to the default
interface's dq variable.categoryName - name of a category to limit results
to. Corresponds to the default interface's category variable.
Added in version 20.1.categoryQuery - numeric index for a category to limit results
to. 1 is the first category, etc. Corresponds to the default
interface's cq variable.
Deprecated; use categoryName instead.requireAllCategories - Set to Y to require each result
to match all categories specified, instead of any of them.proximity - specifies a required proximity for the words
in the query. Corresponds to the default
interface's prox variable. Possible values are:
page - words must occur on the same page (default)paragraph - words must occur in the same paragraphsentence - words must occur in the same sentence.line - words must occur on the same line.
authUser - Username to use for Results Authorization, when using

the Basic/NTLM/file - prompt via form authorization method.groupBy - restrict the Group Bys performed to one or more named
fields. The Group Bys must still be configured in the admin interface (see
here), but the <groupBy> parameter allows you to
further restrict Group Bys to fewer than would be performed otherwise.
search function may also use the rankKnobs structure (section
6.24.8, here).
Parametric Search
In addition to using the infield: syntax in the query, embedded
parameters for the Parametric Search Query may also be provided.
Param elements with name attributes are used to accomplish this.
For example, To set the embedded parameter qpMaxPrice to
20, use:
<Param name="qpMaxPrice">20</Param>
Please see Parametric Search Query (here) for more info.
