search_wikipedia

Active

declared in 0.1.0

PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for general-knowledge / encyclopedic questions ("who is X", "what is Y", "history of Z", definitions, biographies). Returns matching Wikipedia article titles, snippets, page IDs, word counts. Chain with get_article_summary or get_article_extract for full content. Cheaper + more structured than scraping web search results; covers ~7M English articles updated continuously by the Wikipedia community.
