  1. To use the Wikipedia module in Python to search for and retrieve the best page from a search term, you can use the wikipedia.search() function and then the wikipedia.page() function. Here's an example of how you can do this:
  2.  
  3.  
  4. import wikipedia
  5.  
  6. # Search for pages that match the search term
  7. results = wikipedia.search("search term")
  8.  
  9. # Get the best page from the search results
  10. page = wikipedia.page(results[0])
  11.  
  12. # Print the page's title and summary
  13. print(page.title)
  14. print(page.summary)
  15.  
  16.  
  17. This will search for pages that match the search term, and then retrieve the best page from the search results (which is the first item in the results list). The page object will contain information about the page, including the title and summary.
  18.  
  19. You can also use the wikipedia.suggest() function to get a suggested page based on the search term, which may be more accurate than simply retrieving the first item in the search results. Here's an example of how you can use wikipedia.suggest():
  20.  
  21.  
  22. import wikipedia
  23.  
  24. # Get the suggested page for the search term
  25. suggested_page = wikipedia.suggest("search term")
  26.  
  27. # Get the page for the suggested page
  28. page = wikipedia.page(suggested_page)
  29.  
  30. # Print the page's title and summary
  31. print(page.title)
  32. print(page.summary)
  33.  
  34.  
  35.
