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
- Registers the local-chrome search provider for the DSH ctx.web seam.
- Uses agent-browser to drive local Chrome in headless or headed mode.
- Searches Bing by default and optionally Google.
- Returns result URL, title, snippet, and best-effort publication date in the dsh-web result shape.
- Supports configurable language, requested result count, timeout, cache location, and cache TTL.
- Uses a dedicated profile path and closes the search tab after each search.
Useful For
- Enable web_search in a DSH profile without subscribing to a paid search API.
- Use Bing search results through a local browser-backed DSH provider.
- Use Google where the network is not blocked by Google's anti-bot measures.
- Configure a persistent, dedicated browser profile for search sessions.
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness users configuring the ctx.web capability.
- Developers who want a local Chrome-based web-search provider.
- Users who can install and run agent-browser and Chrome for Testing.
Documented Limitations
- Requires a DeepSeek Harness installation, Node.js 22 or later, agent-browser 0.34.0 or later, and a browser installation.
- profilePath is required and must point to a writable local directory.
- Searches are serialized; version 0.1 supports queueConcurrency of exactly 1.
- Google searches may be blocked by anti-bot or IP-reputation interstitials; the plugin does not automatically fall back to another engine.
- Search terms are sent to the selected search engine and enter the dedicated local Chrome profile history.
- The README states that native macOS/Linux desktop and Windows-native DSH end-to-end testing had not yet been completed for v1.1.
