What

  • Added a Troubleshooting section covering Windows / corporate-network issues
    (PowerShell execution policy, SSL-inspection certs) and an
    AuthenticationError debugging checklist
  • Quick start search example now passes { country: 'us' } explicitly
  • Added a note in Search engines explaining geo behavior when country is omitted
  • Added a tip in Environment Variables about shell vars taking precedence over --env-file

Why

Based on a real first-time-user test session on a corporate Windows machine
(Node 24, CommonJS). These were the exact friction points hit before the first
successful SDK call.

cc @shahar-brd

Updated Google search method to include country parameter for localized results. Added troubleshooting section for common issues related to Windows and authentication errors.
