Wikipedia Search Command

[pierluigi-failla]

Background

Wikipedia Search could provide the capability of searching for encyclopedia-like information and, in this sense, I think is a very relevant and general command to have. I will be more than happy to update it later to the plugin template once will be merged to stable.

Changes

Added Wikipedia Search command.

Documentation

The new command wikipedia_search will search in Wikipedia for relevant information. The resulting string is a json.dumps of a list of len num_results containing dictionaries with the following structure: {'title': <title>, 'summary': <summary>, 'url': <url to relevant page>}.

Test Plan

As far as this is a very simple functionality I not added tests as per some other similar functionality.

this may be superset by the fact that chatGPT knows it can just google a subject and click on the wikipedia link, to be honest

@rocks6 my2cents are: Google indexes website while Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. Your point is correct and indeed in my tests GPT discriminates quite well when to use google_search (e.g. searching articles, news, general comments...) or wikipedia_search (e.g. look for definition, factual information, historical facts...), if we have only google_search relevant Wikipedia pages may be not in the top few results.

[rocks6]

That makes sense, if the model knows wikipedia is an authoritative source for information it may be more inclined to search it directly to improve its results
