How to limit Bing Search API V5 to search specific sections of the website

Using bing.com, I can do a search like this (click here for link):

history site:berkeley.edu/about/

When I try the same using the API, I get very different results. As far as I can tell, the search results returns webpages that are not hosted in berkeley.edu (see bottom).

this is the HTTP GET request being made to Azure

https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v5.0/search?q=history+site:berkeley.edu/about/&count=10&offset=0

This is my HTTP GET code

    $.ajax({
        url: "https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v5.0/search"
        , data: { "q":encodeURI("history+site:berkeley.edu/about/"), "count":"10", "offset":"0" }
        , beforeSend: function(xhrObj){
            xhrObj.setRequestHeader("Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key","supply-your-key-here");
        }
        , type: "GET",
    })

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Thanks

edit1: Seems my "problem" is related to the way AJAX is making the HTTP request. If I supply my key by using a Firefox header plugin and type this (https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v5.0/search?q=history+site:berkeley.edu/about/&count=10&offset=0) on my browser URL box, I get the correct response.

You can use Bing custom search alternately to make sure you get results only from the domain/webpages you want. Here is the call: https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bingcustomsearch/v7.0/search. You will need a different accesskey though, which you can get from customsearch.ai.

I'm getting correct results on both v5.0 and v7.0. There seems nothing wrong with your query.

https://api.cognitive.microsoft.com/bing/v5.0/search?q=history+site:berkeley.edu/about/&count=10&offset=0

Perhaps you are caching results somewhere in your browser?

Update: Since IE does it, but Firefox doesn't. Have you disabled cache on IE?
