Conversation
Follow-on to the tavily-search max_hours parameter (approved in the same Slack thread). Named params on search()/_search(), sync and async, threaded through to the request body exactly like every other optional parameter -- omitted when unset. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
