Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add @ian_p/dsh-web-searchPlugin 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
- Routes the native web_search tool across 8 configurable search providers in fallback order
- Supports Tavily, Brave, Exa, Firecrawl, Jina, Kagi, SearXNG, and DuckDuckGo
- Dedicated settings page for managing API credentials, connection testing, and drag-to-reorder prioritization
- Standardized source shaping with snippet normalization and Markdown provider answer integration
- Detailed host log auditing of provider attempts, skips, latencies, and fallback transitions
Useful For
- Replacing the default deepseek-official web search backend with custom or self-hosted search engines
- Ensuring high-availability web search via automatic failover across multiple search APIs
- Managing search provider credentials and prioritization directly from the Harness UI
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness users requiring customized or redundant search engine backends
- Developers seeking integration with specialized search providers like Exa, Firecrawl, or SearXNG
Documented Limitations
- Targets DeepSeek Harness runtime 0.2.0-rc.2 train with strict Typert Remote descriptors
- Provider execution is sequential with no parallel racing, caching, or multi-provider result merging
- Exclude lists and custom per-provider timeout values are currently only configurable via YAML credential records
