Does this skill use the standard Google Search?

No, it uses the Google Programmable Search Engine API (Custom Search), which requires a specific Search Engine ID and API key from the Google Cloud Console.

What output formats are supported for the search results?

The skill supports JSON (the default and recommended for AI agents), YAML, and human-readable text formats.

Can I search specific websites like GitHub or StackOverflow?

Yes, you can use the --site flag to restrict your search results to a specific domain for more targeted information retrieval.

How many results can I retrieve at once?

The API allows for up to 10 results per request. You can use the --start flag to paginate through additional sets of results.

Is the workspace-cli an official Google product?

No, it is an independent, open-source project. Users must provide their own Google API credentials to use the search functionality.
