# Search Countries

The **searchCountries** function allows you to search for countries based on a keyword in their names, capitals, or codes. You can specify the fields you want to retrieve as an array.

```javascript
const { searchCountries } = require('countrys-info');

// Search for countries based on a keyword
const countriesByKeyword = searchCountries('united', ['name_en', 'capital_en']);
console.log(countriesByKeyword);
```
