## About this widget

The `SearchState` class lets you provide raw search parameters to the Algolia API.

<Note>
  **You can't set the `filters` parameter**.
  Use [`FilterState`](/doc/api-reference/widgets/filter-state/flutter) instead.
</Note>

For more information about the different parameters you can set,
see the [search parameters API reference](/doc/api-reference/search-api-parameters).
