# Google Search
Docs refactor (#480)
Big docs refactor! Motivation is to make it easier for people to find
resources they are looking for. To accomplish this, there are now three
main sections:
- Getting Started: steps for getting started, walking through most core
functionality
- Modules: these are different modules of functionality that langchain
provides. Each part here has a "getting started", "how to", "key
concepts" and "reference" section (except in a few select cases where it
didnt easily fit).
- Use Cases: this is to separate use cases (like summarization, question
answering, evaluation, etc) from the modules, and provide a different
entry point to the code base.
There is also a full reference section, as well as extra resources
(glossary, gallery, etc)

This page covers how to use the Google Search API within LangChain.

It is broken into two parts: installation and setup, and then references to the specific Google Search wrapper.

## Installation and Setup
- Install requirements with `pip install google-api-python-client`
- Set up a Custom Search Engine, following [these instructions ](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37083058/programmatically-searching-google-in-python-using-custom-search )
- Get an API Key and Custom Search Engine ID from the previous step, and set them as environment variables `GOOGLE_API_KEY` and `GOOGLE_CSE_ID` respectively
## Wrappers
### Utility
There exists a GoogleSearchAPIWrapper utility which wraps this API. To import this utility:
```python
from langchain.utilities import GoogleSearchAPIWrapper
```

For a more detailed walkthrough of this wrapper, see [this notebook ](../modules/agents/tools/examples/google_search.ipynb ).

### Tool
You can also easily load this wrapper as a Tool (to use with an Agent).
You can do this with:
```python
from langchain.agents import load_tools
tools = load_tools(["google-search"])
```
