How urlMatch and filterByTitles work ?

const test = await GOOGLE_IMG_SCRAP({
  search: 'cats',
  //will build something like this "(draw and white) or (albino and white)"
  filterByTitles: [
    ['draw', 'white'],
    ['albino', 'white']
  ],
  //will build something like this "(cdn and wikipedia) or (cdn istockphoto)"
  urlMatch: [
    ['cdn', 'wikipedia'],
    ['cdn', 'istockphoto']
  ]
});

console.log(test);
