Bug Fix: Windows Unicode Encoding Issue

[715494637]

Problem Description

On Windows systems, the search.py script fails with a UnicodeEncodeError when outputting Unicode characters (such as warning symbols ). This is because Windows CMD defaults to GBK encoding, which cannot handle UTF-8 Unicode characters.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'gbk' codec can't encode character '\u26a0' in position 647: illegal multibyte sequence

Solution

Added Windows-specific encoding detection and UTF-8 output wrapping to ensure proper Unicode character display on all platforms.

Changes Made

• Added sys and io imports for encoding handling
• Added platform detection for Windows systems
• Wrapped stdout with UTF-8 encoding when running on Windows
• Added detailed comments explaining the fix

Technical Details

# Fix Windows encoding issue
if sys.platform == "win32":
    sys.stdout = io.TextIOWrapper(sys.stdout.buffer, encoding="utf-8")

Impact

This fix ensures the skill works properly for Windows users, maintaining consistent output formatting across all platforms.
