Original Pull Request: https://github.com/langgenius/dify/pull/4834

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Description

I have refactored the google search tool for 3 reasons:

  1. The google-search-results pkg is merely a wrap layer for request to the serp-api. Since direct requests to the API yield the same results, this package is unnecessary.
  2. I double checked the serp-api docs and found that like sports_results, shopping_results are intended for special scenarios. With hundreds of such specialized scenarios documented, we should focus on handling common scenarios to simplify and clarify the code.
  3. The original code was unable to search for certain keywords, such as "chiphell." I have now fixed this issue.

How Has This Been Tested?

I use some keyword in the serp-api doc and test it locally.
