Changelog

• Added result_limit to every search tool. It limits each top-level result list independently in compact and full modes. The limit is applied after SerpApi returns the response, so it does not change the number of results requested from the engine. Set result_limit=None to retain every returned result.

• Previously, compact mode had a non-configurable result limit for all tools and engines. This is now configurable via result_limit argument of all search tools.

• Defaults:

  Tool	Default result_limit
  web_search	10
  news_search	20
  maps_search	10
  images_search	50
  shopping_search	60
  videos_search	10
  hotels_search	20
  flights_search	10 per flight list
  travel_explore_search	50

• Refined compact responses to reduce context usage and keep tool output lightweight by removing redundant fields while preserving useful result data, including product links and Amazon alternative-offer links.

• Expanded compact mode to retain engine-specific results such as Bing Copilot answers and all YouTube result types. Multi-list responses are limited independently without truncating nested data such as flight legs, hotel amenities, or product offers.
