BaiduSearch

BaiduSearch enables an Agent to search the web for information using the Baidu search engine.

Prerequisites

The following example requires the baidusearch, pycountry, and openai libraries. To install them, run the following command:

uv pip install -U agno baidusearch pycountry openai

Example

cookbook/91_tools/baidusearch_tools.py

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.baidusearch import BaiduSearchTools

agent = Agent(
    tools=[BaiduSearchTools()],
    description="You are a search agent that helps users find the most relevant information using Baidu.",
    instructions=[
        "Given a topic by the user, respond with the 3 most relevant search results about that topic.",
        "Search for 5 results and select the top 3 unique items.",
        "Search in both English and Chinese.",
    ],
)

agent.print_response("What are the latest advancements in AI?", markdown=True)

Toolkit Params

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`fixed_max_results`	`Optional[int]`	`None`	A fixed number of maximum results to return, overriding the `max_results` argument passed to `baidu_search`.
`fixed_language`	`Optional[str]`	`None`	Used for language normalization/logging; not forwarded to the search provider.
`headers`	`Optional[Any]`	`None`	Stored but not forwarded to the underlying search request.
`proxy`	`Optional[str]`	`None`	Stored but not forwarded to the underlying search request.
`timeout`	`int`	`10`	Stored but not forwarded to the underlying search request.
`debug`	`bool`	`False`	Stored; does not configure the provider's debug mode.
`enable_baidu_search`	`bool`	`True`	Enable the baidu_search functionality.
`all`	`bool`	`False`	Enable all functionality.

Toolkit Functions

Function	Description
`baidu_search`	Use this function to search Baidu for a query.

The current adapter calls the provider with only keyword and num_results. It does not enforce the language, proxy, headers, timeout, or debug values in this table. Search with appropriately phrased queries; the cookbook's English/Chinese instruction is a model instruction rather than a provider language filter.
