Subject: [PATCH] fix: improve error handling in search API and log response
 from Gemini

- Wrapped the search API logic in a try-catch block to handle potential errors during query parsing.
- Added console logging for the response received from the Gemini API for better debugging.
- Ensured that a user-friendly error message is returned in case of failure.
