# DirectorySearchTool
!!! note "Experimental"
We are still working on improving tools, so there might be unexpected behavior or changes in the future.
## Description
This tool is designed to perform a semantic search for queries within the content of a specified directory. Utilizing the RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) methodology, it offers a powerful means to semantically navigate through the files of a given directory. The tool can be dynamically set to search any directory specified at runtime or can be pre-configured to search within a specific directory upon initialization.
## Installation
To start using the DirectorySearchTool, you need to install the crewai_tools package. Execute the following command in your terminal:
```shell
pip install 'crewai[tools]'
```
## Example
The following examples demonstrate how to initialize the DirectorySearchTool for different use cases and how to perform a search:
```python
from crewai_tools import DirectorySearchTool
# To enable searching within any specified directory at runtime
tool = DirectorySearchTool()
# Alternatively, to restrict searches to a specific directory
tool = DirectorySearchTool(directory='/path/to/directory')
```
## Arguments
- `directory` : This string argument specifies the directory within which to search. It is mandatory if the tool has not been initialized with a directory; otherwise, the tool will only search within the initialized directory.
## Custom model and embeddings
By default, the tool uses OpenAI for both embeddings and summarization. To customize the model, you can use a config dictionary as follows:
```python
tool = DirectorySearchTool(
config=dict(
llm=dict(
provider="ollama", # or google, openai, anthropic, llama2, ...
config=dict(
model="llama2",
# temperature=0.5,
# top_p=1,
# stream=true,
),
),
embedder=dict(
provider="google",
config=dict(
model="models/embedding-001",
task_type="retrieval_document",
# title="Embeddings",
),
),
)
)
```
