How Configuration Works
All collectors in Lens adhere to a unified configuration pattern. Instead of hardcoding values, you inject parameters at runtime using the lens.config.yaml file or directly via the ResearchAgent constructor.
Dynamic Configuration
When you initialize a collector, it inspects the configuration object passed to it. This allows for flexible behavior adjustments—such as changing target languages, result limits, or API-specific flags—without modifying the core collector logic. Refer to the central Configuration Reference for the full list of supported parameters available to this collector.
