+### DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS
+
+**Type:** Integer
+**Default:** 30
+**Required:** No
+
+Number of calendar days to look back when querying `/results` endpoint without date filters.
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# Default to last 60 days
+DEFAULT_RESULTS_LOOKBACK_DAYS=60
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+When no `start_date` or `end_date` parameters are provided to `/results`, the endpoint returns data from the last N days (ending today).
