Gemini-3.1-pro-preview-search integrates Google's official search functionality; the search feature incurs an additional separate fee log directly incorporated into the scoring, but the log details are not displayed; this will be fixed in the future to show the details; it only supports OpenAI-compatible format calls and does not support the Gemini SDK; for the Gemini native SDK, please directly set the official search parameters.
