# safeSearch

#### Parameters:

* `status` (bool): Indicates whether to enable (`True`) or disable (`False`) safe search. Default is `False`.

**Description:**

The method sends a GET request to Bing to save the safe search setting state.\
Depending on the value of `status`, the method will either enable or disable safe search.

**Example Usage:**

```python
from searchx import Client

client = Client()
settings = client.settings

# Disable safe search
result = settings.safeSearch(status=False)
print(result)  # Output: {'safeSearchStatus': False}

# Enable safe search
result = settings.safeSearch(status=True)
print(result)  # Output: {'safeSearchStatus': True}
```

**How the Method Works:**

The method makes a request to Google to retrieve current cookies.\
Based on the `status` parameter, it sends a request to change the safe search settings.\
It returns a dictionary with the current safe search status.

**Return Value:**

The method returns a dictionary containing the key `"safeSearchStatus"` with the current setting state.
