Can I search for universities in Brazil?

Yes! Use the `search_universities` tool and set the `country` parameter to 'Brazil'. It will return a list of registered institutions in the country.

How do I find the official website of a university?

The search results from the `search_universities` tool include a `web_pages` field containing the official URLs for each institutional record found.

Is it possible to search for universities in a specific state?

The underlying database primarily filters by country. You can include state or city names in the `name` search parameter to narrow down results for specific regions.
