# Web Search

Async web search library supporting Google Custom Search, Wikipedia, and arXiv APIs.

> You can search across multiple sources and retrieve relevant, clean, and formatted results efficiently.

## ๐ŸŒŸ Features

- โšก Asynchronous Searching: Perform searches concurrently across multiple sources
- ๐Ÿ”— Multi-Source Support: Query Google Custom Search, Wikipedia, and arXiv
- ๐Ÿงน Content extraction and cleaning
- ๐Ÿ”ง Configurable Search Parameters: Adjust maximum results, preview length, and sources.

## ๐Ÿ“‹ Prerequisites

- ๐Ÿ Python 3.8 or newer
- ๐Ÿ”‘ API keys and configuration:
- Google Search: Requires a Google API key and a Custom Search Engine (CSE) ID.
- arXiv: No API key required.
- Wikipedia: No API key required.

Set environment variables for Google API:

```bash
export GOOGLE_API_KEY="your_google_api_key"
export CSE_ID="your_cse_id"
```

## ๐Ÿ“ฆ Installation

```bash
pip install async-web-search
```

## ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Usage

### Example 1: Search across multiple sources

```python
from web_search import WebSearch, WebSearchConfig

config = WebSearchConfig(sources=["google", "arxiv"])
results = await WebSearch(config).search("quantum computing")

print(results)
```

### Example 2: Google Search

```python
from web_search import GoogleSearchConfig
from web_search.google import GoogleSearch

config = GoogleSearchConfig(
api_key="your_google_api_key",
cse_id="your_cse_id",
max_results=5
)
results = await GoogleSearch(config)._search("quantum computing")

for result in results:
print(result)
```

### Example 3: Wikipedia Search

```python
from web_search import BaseConfig
from web_search.wikipedia import WikipediaSearch

wiki_config = BaseConfig(max_results=5, max_preview_chars=500)
results = await WikipediaSearch(wiki_config)._search("deep learning")

for result in results:
print(result)
```

### Example 4: ArXiv Search

```python
from web_search import BaseConfig
from web_search.arxiv import ArxivSearch

arxiv_config = BaseConfig(max_results=3, max_preview_chars=800)
results = await ArxivSearch(arxiv_config)._search("neural networks")

for result in results:
print(result)
```

## ๐Ÿ“˜ API Overview

### ๐Ÿ”ง Configuration

- BaseConfig: Shared configuration for all sources (e.g., max_results, max_preview_chars, and timeout).
- GoogleSearchConfig: Google-specific settings (e.g., api_key, cse_id).
- WebSearchConfig: Configuration for the overall search process (e.g., sources to query).

### ๐Ÿ“š Classes

- WebSearch: Entry point for performing searches across multiple sources.
- GoogleSearch: Handles searches via Google Custom Search Engine API.
- WikipediaSearch: Searches Wikipedia and retrieves article previews.
- ArxivSearch: Queries arXiv for academic papers.

### โš™๏ธ Methods

- search(query: str): Main search method for WebSearch.
- \_search(query: str): Source-specific search logic for GoogleSearch, WikipediaSearch, and ArxivSearch.
