--- name: multi-search-engine description: Build auditable search URLs across Chinese and global engines with region/language filters, advanced operators, time scopes, privacy-first options, compare mode, and no API keys. version: 2.1.0 metadata: openclaw: requires: bins: - python3 config: - config.json - resources/engine-catalog.json install: [] emoji: "🔎" homepage: https://clawhub.com/skills/multi-search-engine --- # Multi Search Engine v2.1.0 A search orchestration skill for OpenClaw that helps the agent **choose engines, build safe search URLs, compare results across engines, and explain why a given engine is appropriate**. This version turns the skill from a static engine list into a **reusable toolkit** with: - engine aliases and region-aware selection - advanced operator composition (`site:`, `filetype:`, exact phrase, exclusion, OR groups) - time scopes where the engine supports them - compare mode for multi-engine research - privacy-first presets - command-line helper script that outputs `json`, `markdown`, or plain `text` - explicit safety guidance for direct web access ## When to use this skill Use this skill when the user wants to: 1. search the same query on multiple engines 2. bias toward Chinese vs global engines 3. use privacy-first engines 4. build advanced search operators reliably 5. compare engine coverage before opening pages 6. prepare direct `web_fetch` or browser URLs without needing an API key ## Recommended workflow 1. Normalize the user's research intent: - broad web search - China-focused search - privacy-first search - docs / code / paper / file search - calculation / fact query 2. Pick engines deliberately: - **China / local web**: Baidu, Sogou, 360, Toutiao, WeChat - **Global general**: Google, Bing INT, Brave, Yahoo - **Privacy-first**: DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Brave, Qwant - **Knowledge / computation**: WolframAlpha - **Community / niche finance**: Jisilu 3. Build the query using operators only when they help: - `site:` for source restriction - `filetype:` for PDFs / docs - quotes for exact phrase - `-term` for exclusion - `OR` for alternatives 4. Prefer compare mode for research-sensitive tasks: - one privacy engine - one mainstream engine - one region-specific engine if relevant 5. Open only the most promising result pages after inspecting generated URLs. ## Direct script usage ```bash python3 scripts/build_search_urls.py --query "openclaw skills" --engine google python3 scripts/build_search_urls.py --query "量化投资" --preset cn-research --time week --format markdown python3 scripts/build_search_urls.py --query "react hooks" --site github.com --exact "useEffect" --compare google,ddg,brave python3 scripts/build_search_urls.py --query "100 USD to CNY" --engine wolframalpha --format json ``` ## Typical OpenClaw usage ```text User asks for recent AI papers as PDFs → build a Google / Brave compare query → add filetype:pdf and time scope → inspect URLs before opening pages ``` ## Security and privacy - This skill does **not** require API keys. - It does **not** execute remote code. - It only generates deterministic search URLs from local templates. - Network access happens only when the agent explicitly opens the generated URLs. - Search engines may log requests; use privacy presets when that matters. ## Files - `SKILL.md` — primary instructions and metadata - `README.md` — install, scenarios, examples, FAQ, risks - `scripts/build_search_urls.py` — URL builder and compare helper - `resources/engine-catalog.json` — engine definitions, aliases, capabilities - `resources/search-operator-cheatsheet.md` — operator reference - `examples/example-prompt.md` — prompt patterns for agents - `tests/smoke-test.md` — manual smoke coverage - `SELF_CHECK.md` — self-audit and release checklist
