Perform web searches using the Jina Search API. Returns formatted search results with titles, URLs, and descriptions.
Setup
Optionally get a Jina API key for higher rate limits:
- Create an account at https://jina.ai/
- Get your API key from the dashboard
- Add to your shell profile (
~/.profile or ~/.zprofile for zsh):

Without an API key, the service works with rate limits.
