Capture evidence
Save a result page inside iSearchFrom for review or reporting.
Search Engine Proxy
Capture localized search result pages with country, city, device, language, SafeSearch, and map pin controls.
Search Engine Proxy runs a captured search and stores the result inside iSearchFrom. Use it when you need evidence, structured SERP data, repeatable settings, or team review.
Unlike Direct Search, proxy searches can include device targeting, parsed results, HTML preview, saved result pages, extra result pages, compare mode, and map pin targeting.

Choose the search context
Section titled “Choose the search context”Choose search engine, device, language, country and city, or use a map pin for precise local intent.
Set advanced options
Section titled “Set advanced options”Set SafeSearch, search domain, scope refinements, and how many pages to scrape.
Run and review
Section titled “Run and review”The search appears in the results area while iSearchFrom processes it. Results may move through pending, running, completed, or failed states.
Search controls
Section titled “Search controls”Use country and city when you want a recognized market location. Use a map pin when you need an exact point for local search scenarios where neighborhood or service area matters.
If you choose map pin mode, select a pin before running or saving the search.
Device selection changes the result shape. Mobile and desktop SERPs can differ in ranking, layout, ads, local packs, and AI features.
Use the device your customer is most likely to use. For comparison, run the same search twice with different devices and use compare mode.
The default is one result page. Increase pages only when you need deeper coverage beyond the first result set.
Each additional page requires more work and can increase token usage.
Parsed view and HTML view
Section titled “Parsed view and HTML view”Parsed view
Use this for structured results such as organic items, ads, local results, related questions, related searches, shopping, videos, images, and AI Overview items.
HTML view
Use this to inspect the captured page closer to how the SERP appeared.
Compare mode
Section titled “Compare mode”Compare mode helps you review two searches side by side. For reliable comparison, change one variable at a time:
Country vs country
Compare national markets with the same query and language.
City vs city
Compare local intent across metro areas.
Desktop vs mobile
Check whether layout, ads, and rankings change by device.
SafeSearch or language
Validate how settings change the captured result page.
Reading results
Section titled “Reading results”Look at total result count when available, parsed result count, ad count, organic count, local or places results, AI Overview features, related questions, related searches, page status, and failure messages.
If a search fails, check whether the location and provider settings are supported, then retry.
