---

An open source chatbot framework written in Python. It is designed to be extendable, scalable and simple.

This framework is designed to take events from chat services and other sources and execute Python functions (skills) based on their contents. Those functions can be anything you like, from simple conversational responses to running complex tasks. The true power of this project is to act as a glue library to bring the multitude of natural language APIs, chat services and third-party APIs together.

skill-google-it's Issues

Rename skill and add more intents?

Thanks to the work from @FabioRosado this skill now has example config for multiple search engines.

Therefore perhaps it should be renamed to search-it instead of google-it.

The regex could also be updated to include search <whatever> as well as google <whatever>.

Thoughts?

Add functionality to fetch the actual results of the search

It would be great if opsdroid could fetch the actual results of its search (titles and URLs), except for just the URL of the query. This way, one would easily follow the URL that corresponds to the title that best fit their query. The user should be able to add a limit of the results to be fetched, where opsdroid will set a default value, say 10, if the user does not enter a number for how many results to be fetched. Something like the following:

opsdroid> google pomodoro technique 3
Here's what I found https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pomodoro+technique
    - Pomodoro Technique - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique)
    - Productivity 101: A Primer to The Pomodoro Technique - Lifehacker (https://lifehacker.com/productivity-101-a-primer-to-the-pomodoro-technique-1598992730)
    - The Pomodoro Technique | What Is The Pomodoro Technique... (https://www.focusboosterapp.com/the-pomodoro-technique)

If the title is too long, it should be truncated with ... added to the end.
