Usage

Autolinks currently works only for GitHub Issues. Extending it to PRs will be planned in future or if any developer is interested, he may work on this feature.

Here,

• <search_query>(str): The term you want to be googled. (Cannot be empty)
• <number_of_results>(int): The number of results you want for a query. (Min:1, Max:9)

Example
