searchflox 1.0.2

AI-Powered Research Platform - Advanced CLI tool for intelligent research and report generation

SearchFlox ✨

SearchFlox, powered by ArcDevs, is an AI-Powered Research Platform and advanced CLI tool leveraging ArcDevs Intelligence for intelligent research and automated report generation.

It utilizes AI agents to connect to services and perform comprehensive searches, analyze information, and compile reports based on user queries. (For educational purposes, this project explores concepts similar to those that might be used by services like searc.ai.)

🚀 Features

• 🧠 AI-Powered Research: Employs advanced AI for in-depth information gathering.
• 📄 Multiple Report Types: Generate summaries, detailed reports, or multi-agent analyses.
• 🎨 Customizable Tone: Adjust the writing tone of reports (Objective, Formal, Analytical, etc.).
• 🌐 Domain Filtering: Focus research on specific websites or domains.
• 💬 Interactive Mode: Conduct multiple research queries in a single session.
• ⚙️ Configurable: Save default preferences for report types and tones.
• 💾 Multiple Output Formats: Save reports as text, Markdown, or JSON.
• 📡 Real-time Logging: (Optional) View the AI's research process live.

🛠️ Installation

You can install SearchFlox using pip:

pip install searchflox

(This command will work once the package version with these updates is published to PyPI. For local development, see the section below.)

💡 Usage

Basic Search

Execute a search query directly from your terminal:

searchflox "your research query here"

Example:

searchflox "latest advancements in quantum computing"

You can also use the short alias sf:

sf "latest advancements in quantum computing"

Command-Line Options

Fine-tune your research with these options:

• Report Type (-t or --type):

  • summary: Quick overview (~2 min)
  • multi_agents_report: Collaborative analysis
  • research_report: Comprehensive research (~5 min)

  searchflox -t research_report "CRISPR gene editing ethics"
  

• Report Tone (-o or --tone):

  • objective: Impartial and unbiased
  • formal: Academic and professional
  • analytical: Critical evaluation
  • persuasive: Convincing and argumentative
  • informative: Clear and comprehensive

  sf -o formal "economic impact of renewable energy"
  

• Specific Domains (-d or --domains): Provide a space-separated list of domains.

  searchflox -d arxiv.org nature.com "dark matter theories"
  

• No Real-time Logs (--no-logs): Disables the streaming output of agent activities for a cleaner console.

  searchflox --no-logs "history of the internet"
  

• Output to File (-O or --output with --format): Save your research findings directly to a file. Supported formats: text, markdown, json.

  searchflox "Python web frameworks" -O report.md --format markdown
  sf "Market analysis of AI startups" -O analysis.json --format json
  

Interactive Mode

For an engaging session with multiple queries or to easily change settings on the fly:

searchflox --interactive
# or
sf --interactive

Inside interactive mode:

• Type help for a list of available commands.
• Current settings (type/tone) are shown in the prompt.
• Use set <option> <value> to change settings for the current session (e.g., set type summary).

Configuration

Customize your default SearchFlox experience:

searchflox --config
# or
sf --config

Set your preferred report type, tone, and other settings. These are typically saved to ~/.searchflox/config.json (the directory name matches the package).
