AutoGPT: Command google_search never invoked anymore

Using the combination of suggestions from @benqqqq and @jonasdebeukelaer I was able to get mine running smoothly again with proper Google searches via the Google API (running in VS Code + Docker Container):

1. Renamed Duck Duck Go query name, changed Line 14 from:

https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/blob/3bf5934b20b906f977776e2d41033027ecb5df9b/autogpt/commands/google_search.py#L14

to

@command("ddg", "Duck Duck Go", '"query": "<query>"', not CFG.google_api_key)

2. Added line fix, changed Line 113 from:

https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/blob/3bf5934b20b906f977776e2d41033027ecb5df9b/autogpt/commands/google_search.py#L113

to

[result.encode("utf-8", "ignore").decode("utf-8") for result in results]

Now everything running smoothly for me again.

Note: I also updated my DuckDuckGo Search per discussion comments in #4120 - Not sure if that has anything to do with it as I didn’t test in between the DDG update and making the other changes. But worth noting.

Update DuckDuckGo Search:

pip install --upgrade duckduckgo-search

I’ve noticed this issue as well. Worked for me in v0.2.2 but not since switching to stable v.0.3.0.

I have both Google API Key and Search ID set in my .env but it just uses the browse_website function and not Google.

Using GPT 4 API.

I also checked my Google API Key results to see if any traffic was using it, and I see no traffic on my API since making the switch.

@yangkyeongmo added whitespace and removed escape sequences for readability

Is there a workaround for people running autogpt on Docker? I can’t get it to use Google Search at all

Hi, I think the root cause is that there are two commands with the same “name” google (the first argument) in the following code snippets:

(Google Official search) https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/blob/3bf5934b20b906f977776e2d41033027ecb5df9b/autogpt/commands/google_search.py#L40-L47

(DuckDuckGo search) https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/blob/3bf5934b20b906f977776e2d41033027ecb5df9b/autogpt/commands/google_search.py#L14-L15

This causes the command registry to overwrite each other, as seen in the code snippet https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/Auto-GPT/blob/dcd6aa912b992d7c024ea1b668d3249b201b0c2c/autogpt/commands/command.py#L61-L62

There are two workarounds available:

1. Comment out the GOOGLE_API_KEY in the .env file, which will make it use DuckDuckGo for searching instead. #GOOGLE_API_KEY=xxxx

2. Use different names in the above two code snippets for these two commands.

I believe command changed to just google but it returns disabled for me.

Try prompting explicitly to use the google_search command.

I have, and it seems to understand. Yet, the generated command is ‘browse_website’ instead of ‘google_search’. It just keeps scraping google com homepage.
