We’re excited to share two improvements that just went live for the Sonar API!

## 1. Expanded domain filters

You can now include up to **20 entries** in `search_domain_filter` (previously 10).  
This gives you more flexibility when allowlisting or denylisting sources for your queries.

## 2. Snippets in `search_results`

Each item in the **`search_results`** array now includes a **`snippet`** — a short summary/description, similar to what you’d see in a search engine. This helps you quickly evaluate the relevance of results before diving into the full source.

### Example

If I were to prompt:

```txt
What is Comet by Perplexity?

```

The response would include `search_results` like:

```json
"search_results": [
  {
    "title": "Comet: Perplexity's AI browser gets personal - IBM Think",
    "url": "https://www.ibm.com/think/news/comet-perplexity-take-agentic-browser",
    "date": "2025-07-18",
    "last_updated": "2025-07-18",
    "snippet": "With the launch of Comet, Perplexity is tackling a new challenge: reinventing how everyday users interact with the web ..."
  }
]

```
