Frequently Asked Questions
Why do URLs need encoding?
URLs can only contain certain safe ASCII characters. Special characters like spaces or symbols must be percent-encoded to prevent server parsing errors.
Is there a limit on query length?
We restrict local processing to 2MB to keep performance fast.
