fix(web): Complete SerpAPI validation and fixes - all 7 engines working
**User Issue:** Amazon searches failed with status 400 error. Unknown which other engines worked or had issues. User requirement: "SerpAPI's APIs are well documented, there is no reason we can't support everything that they make available." **Comprehensive Validation:** Fetched and analyzed all 8 SerpAPI engine documentation pages. Created engine-specific configuration system with EngineConfig struct. Tested all engines against actual SerpAPI responses. **Problems Found & Fixed:** 1. **Amazon** - BROKEN (400 error) - Problem: Used 'query' parameter - Fix: Changed to 'k' (keyword) per SerpAPI docs - Status: ✅ Working (returns 20+ products) 2. **Google AI Overview** - NOT USER-CALLABLE - Problem: Listed as available engine but requires page_token from Google search - Fix: Completely removed from codebase - Removed from SearchEngine enum - Removed from all WebOperationsTool parameters - Removed from error messages and documentation - Status: ✅ Removed 3. **Walmart** - BROKEN (0 results parsed) - Problem: SerpAPI returned 10 products but parser found 0 - Root cause: Parser looked for 'link' field (doesn't exist) - Fix: Use 'product_page_url' instead of 'link' - Fix: Extract price from 'primary_offer.offer_price' (nested Double) - Added rating > 0 check and reviews count - Status: ✅ Working (returns 10 products) 4. **Yelp** - Requires location parameter - Problem: Searches failed without location - Enhancement: Auto-fill from user's configured location (LocationManager) - Falls back to manual location if provided - Location format: "City, State" or zip code - Status: ✅ Working (auto-uses preferences) **Engine Configuration System:** Created EngineConfig struct for maintainability: - queryParamName: Engine-specific query parameter - supportsNumResults: Whether engine supports result count - numResultsParamName: Name of count parameter (if supported) - supportsLocation: Whether engine supports location - locationParamName: Name of location parameter (if supported) - requiredParams: Engine-specific required parameters - defaultParams: Engine-specific defaults - resultKey: JSON key containing results - requiresLocation: Whether location is mandatory Each engine configured per SerpAPI documentation: - Google: q, num, location - Bing: q, count, location - Amazon: k, NO num/location, amazon_domain default - eBay: _nkw, NO num, NO location - Walmart: query, NO num, product_page_url - TripAdvisor: q, num, location, uses 'places' key - Yelp: find_desc, find_loc (REQUIRED), NO num **Implementation Changes:** • SerpAPIService.swift: - Created EngineConfig struct (lines 53-107) - Added getEngineConfig(for:) method (lines 109-202) - Refactored search() to use configs (lines 203-418) - Fixed Amazon: query → k parameter (line 361) - Fixed Walmart: product_page_url + price parsing (lines 503-536) - Removed Google AI Overview from enum and all cases - Added proper validation for required parameters • WebOperationsTool.swift: - Removed google_ai_overview from tool description - Removed from engine parameter enumValues - Removed from error messages - Added auto-fill logic for Yelp location (lines 650-656) - Uses LocationManager.shared.getEffectiveLocation() • project-docs/MCP_TOOLS_SPECIFICATION.md: - Documented all 7 engine configurations - Updated status for each engine - Added parameter requirements and limitations - Removed Google AI Overview section **Testing:** ✅ Build: PASS (all builds successful) ✅ All 7 engines tested with actual SerpAPI calls ✅ Amazon: Returns product results with prices ✅ Walmart: Returns product results with prices ✅ Yelp: Auto-uses user location from preferences ✅ All other engines: Validated and working **Final Status - ALL 7 ENGINES WORKING (100%):** ✅ Google - Web search ✅ Bing - Web search ✅ Amazon - Product search (FIXED) ✅ eBay - Product search ✅ Walmart - Product search (FIXED) ✅ TripAdvisor - Local search ✅ Yelp - Local search (ENHANCED) **User Impact:** - Primary issue (Amazon 400 error) SOLVED - All SerpAPI engines now functional - Yelp enhanced with auto-location from preferences - Maintainable engine configuration system for future - Comprehensive validation against SerpAPI documentation **Research Documents Created:** - scratch/serpapi-engine-research.md (complete analysis) - scratch/serpapi-test-analysis.md (test results) - scratch/walmart-investigation.md (debugging notes) - scratch/walmart-raw-response.json (actual SerpAPI response)
