Install
$ dsh plugin --profile desktop add github:Anixuil/dsh-custom-search#mainPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Plugs custom search backends into DSH ctx.web without altering model-facing web_search tool signatures
- Supports multiple search backends including SearXNG, Tavily, Exa, Brave, Serper, Bing, and Google CSE
- Provides sequential fallback chains when primary engine queries fail or return empty results
- Includes client UI settings form integrated into DSH desktop plugin management slots
- Features a built-in connection testing probe with local validation and optional live query execution
- Safeguards credentials by referencing API keys through the DSH credentials store rather than plaintext configs
Useful For
- Using private or self-hosted SearXNG instances for cost-free, token-saving web searches inside DSH
- Connecting AI-optimized search providers like Tavily or Exa to improve model research accuracy
- Configuring fallback engines to ensure search resilience during external API rate limits or outages
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness desktop and CLI users needing customizable or self-hosted web search providers
- Developers seeking token-efficient web search alternatives to DeepSeek official model-driven web search
Documented Limitations
- Requires a DeepSeek Harness restart after installation or profile patch updates
- Live test connection probe requires DSH host Typert runtime support; falls back to local configuration validation if unavailable
- Search parameters are constrained by ctx.web to query and maxResults without domain or date filtering
- Fallback engine requests are executed sequentially and cumulative latency may increase if multiple timeouts occur
