This is a start.  
@tool(“free\_search”)  
def free\_search(query: str):  
“”“Searches the internet for a given topic and returns relevant results. There is only 1 parameter which is just the query string”“”  
url = f"[{query} - Google Search](https://www.google.com/search?q=%7Bquery%7D)"

```
response = requests.get(url)
results = []
for j in search(query, advanced=True, num_results=5, sleep_interval=10):
    result_dict = {
        "url": j.url,
        "title": j.title,
        "description": j.description
    }
    results.append(result_dict)

return json.dumps(results, indent=4)

```
