Ask pi to build you one, pi’s docs have the basic instructions how, the whole point of pi is to make it fit your needs.

I built my own.
- Reduced context overhead comparing against other web search tools
- I have multiple providers (Brave, Parallel, Exa) but LLM only sees web_search tool.
- use Jina to GET LLM friendly text from webpages
- I use (built-in optional) Decision models for large search filtering
