+                Use with limit to get the next set of items.  
+                Default: 0 (the first item).  Range: 0 to 1000.  
+            market (str):
+                An ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. If a country code is specified, only content that 
+                is available in that market will be returned.  If a valid user access token is specified 
+                in the request header, the country associated with the user account will take priority over 
+                this parameter.  
+                Note: If neither market or user country are provided, the content is considered unavailable for the client.  
+                Users can view the country that is associated with their account in the account settings.  
+                Example: `ES`
+            includeExternal (str):
+                If "audio" is specified it signals that the client can play externally hosted audio content, and 
+                marks the content as playable in the response. By default externally hosted audio content is marked 
+                as unplayable in the response.  
+                Allowed values: "audio"
+            limitTotal (int):
+                The maximum number of items to return for the request.  
+                If specified, this argument overrides the limit and offset argument values
+                and paging is automatically used to retrieve all available items up to the
+                maximum number specified.  
+                Default: None (disabled)
+                
+        Returns:
+            A `SearchResponse` object that contains the search results.
+                
+        Raises:
+            SpotifyWebApiError: 
+                If the Spotify Web API request was for a non-authorization service 
+                and the response contains error information.
+            SpotifApiError: 
+                If the method fails for any other reason.
+
+        Note that Spotify Web API automatically limits you to 1,000 max entries per type that can
+        be returned with a search.
