Following from issue https://github.com/qunash/chatgpt-advanced/issues/36, I have just discovered that no API is required.

Just use a prompt like this:

This webpage shows a list of web search results. For each result, you can find the URL of the result just before it. Using that URL, create an overview of the topic in the search bar. The overview should be made with a list of items, with each item referring to a specific result. Cite the result in the form [number] and summarize in at least two sentences how ad why the item contributes to the advancement of the knowledge or of techniques in the topic. The top 10 results should be included in the list.

Web search result: https://www.startpage.com/do/search?lui=english&language=english&query=today+news&cat=news&sc=tidmtJCmjbvf20&t=device&segment=startpage.udog&with_date=d Topic: Today News

It retrieves the top 10 news of today from startpage without any API.

I think that this extension can just do this trick as a general-purpose method (put the link of the whole page with the results in the prompt, without using any API). In addition, finer control for ddg or semantic scholar could be provided via API.

Apparently, this is not a stable method, but we should work on it, I think
