Baidu Proxy Web Search

- We need confirmation that Baidu's search API actually exists, because all we've seen is a marketing API (functions related to search advertising keywords, paid result placement etc.).

- We would ideally like a minimal Python script that accepts a search string, and queries a Baidu web search API.

- It is fine to just output "repr(results)" or something in a console test app, we can take it from there.

What we DON'T need:

- We don't need any HTML or other special formatting of the output. We want to integrate this into our own software.

- We don't want a web-scraping solution, i.e. an unofficial attempt to use Baidu search without an actual search API. Baidu will probably block us if we attempt to do this.

- We don't need this for any other search engine's API -- we already know how to do Google, Bing, etc, and we want Baidu specifically.
