Problem Description

arXiv is a curated research-sharing platform open to anyone. As a pioneer in digital open access, arXiv.org now hosts more than two million scholarly articles in eight subject areas, curated by our strong community of volunteer moderators.

arXiv offers open API query access and since late 2023, arXiv started offering HTML access for some of its papers.

It would be great for the LLM to have access to the entire text as context.

Desired Solution you'd like

Implementation of web search engine for arXiv.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Additional Context

I'd be more than happy to make a PR. It would be great if I can get some pointer on how to get started.
