def run_search():
    """
     Run parametric search over the desired hparam space with help of ``run_eval.py``.

     All the arguments except ``--search`` are passed to ``run_eval.py`` as is. The values inside of "--search" are parsed, reformatted and fed to ``run_eval.py`` as additional args.

    The format for the ``--search`` value is a simple string with hparams and colon separated values to try, e.g.:
    ```
     --search "num_beams=5:10 length_penalty=0.8:1.0:1.2 early_stopping=true:false"
    ```
    which will generate ``12`` ``(2*3*2)`` searches for a product of each hparam. For example the example that was just used will invoke ``run_eval.py`` repeatedly with:

    ```
     --num_beams 5 --length_penalty 0.8 --early_stopping true
     --num_beams 5 --length_penalty 0.8 --early_stopping false
     [...]
     --num_beams 10 --length_penalty 1.2 --early_stopping false
    ```

    On completion, this function prints a markdown table of the results sorted by the best BLEU score and the winning arguments.
