zhipu web search

Zhipu AI Web Search Tool - Provides flexible search engine capabilities directly via cURL. Use when: - Need to search web information for the latest data - Need specific search engines (defaults to Quark, supports Sogou, Zhipu Search) - Need to filter search results by time range or domain - Need to control result count and detail level Supported search engines: search_std (basic), search_pro (advanced), search_pro_sogou (Sogou), search_pro_quark (Quark - default)

Web search via Zhipu AI's dedicated API (/paas/v4/web_search), refactored to use lightweight cURL instead of Python or jq. It defaults to using the search_pro_quark engine with 20 results.
