Web Search

Web Search

Perform web searches using the Jina Search API. Returns formatted search results with titles, URLs, and descriptions.

Setup

Optionally get a Jina API key for higher rate limits:

1. Create an account at https://jina.ai/
2. Get your API key from the dashboard
3. Add to your shell profile (~/.profile or ~/.zprofile for zsh):

   export JINA_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
   

Without an API key, the service works with rate limits.

Usage

{baseDir}/search.py "your search query"

Examples

# Basic search
{baseDir}/search.py "python async await tutorial"

# Search for recent news
{baseDir}/search.py "latest AI developments 2024"

# Find documentation
{baseDir}/search.py "nodejs fs promises API"

Output Format

Returns markdown-formatted search results:

## Search Results

[Title of first result](https://example.com/page1)

[Title of second result](https://example.com/page2)
Description or snippet from the search result...
