```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise.

### Web Search Plus

Stop choosing search providers. Let the skill do it for you.

This skill connects you to 7 search providers (Serper, Tavily, Querit, Exa, Perplexity, You.com, SearXNG) and automatically picks the best one for each query. Shopping question? → Google results. Research question? → Deep research engine. Need a direct answer? → AI-synthesized with citations. Want privacy? → Self-hosted option.

### ✨ What Makes This Different?

Just search — No need to think about which provider to use
Smart routing — Analyzes your query and picks the best provider automatically
7 providers, 1 interface — Google results, research engines, neural search, AI answers with citations, RAG-optimized, and privacy-first all in one
Works with just 1 key — Start with any single provider, add more later
Free options available — SearXNG is completely free (self-hosted)

### 🚀 Quick Start

# Interactive setup (recommended for first run)
python3 scripts/setup.py

# Or manual: copy config and add your keys
cp config.example.json config.json

The wizard explains each provider, collects API keys, and configures defaults.

### 🔑 API Keys

You only need ONE key to get started. Add more providers later for better coverage.

Setting your keys:

export TAVILY_API_KEY="your-key"
export QUERIT_API_KEY="your-key"

# Option B: config.json
{ "serper": { "api_key": "your-key" } }

### 🎯 When to Use Which Provider

I want to...ProviderExample QueryFind product pricesSerper"iPhone 16 Pro Max price"Find restaurants/stores nearbySerper"best pizza near me"Understand how something worksTavily"how does HTTPS encryption work"Do deep researchTavily"climate change research 2024"Search across languages / international updatesQuerit"latest AI policy updates in Germany"Find companies like XExa"startups similar to Notion"Find research papersExa"transformer architecture papers"Get a direct answer with sourcesPerplexity"events in Berlin this weekend"Know the current status of somethingPerplexity"what is the status of Ethereum upgrades"Get real-time infoYou.com"latest AI regulation news"Search without being trackedSearXNGanything, privately

Pro tip: Just search normally! Auto-routing handles most queries correctly. Override with -p provider when needed.

### 🧠 How Auto-Routing Works

The skill looks at your query and picks the best provider:

"iPhone 16 price"              → Serper (shopping keywords)
"how does quantum computing work" → Tavily (research question)
"latest AI policy updates in Germany" → Querit (multilingual + recency)
"companies like stripe.com"    → Exa (URL detected, similarity)
"events in Graz this weekend"  → Perplexity (local + direct answer)
"latest news on AI"            → You.com (real-time intent)
"search privately"             → SearXNG (privacy keywords)

What if it picks wrong? Override it: python3 scripts/search.py -p tavily -q "your query"

Debug routing: python3 scripts/search.py --explain-routing -q "your query"

### Let Auto-Routing Choose (Recommended)

python3 scripts/search.py -q "Tesla Model 3 price"
python3 scripts/search.py -q "explain machine learning"
python3 scripts/search.py -q "latest AI policy updates in Germany"
python3 scripts/search.py -q "startups like Figma"

### Force a Specific Provider

python3 scripts/search.py -p serper -q "weather Berlin"
python3 scripts/search.py -p tavily -q "quantum computing" --depth advanced
python3 scripts/search.py -p querit -q "latest AI policy updates in Germany"
python3 scripts/search.py -p exa --similar-url "https://stripe.com" --category company
python3 scripts/search.py -p you -q "breaking tech news" --include-news
python3 scripts/search.py -p searxng -q "linux distros" --engines "google,bing"

### Do I need API keys for all providers?

No. You only need keys for providers you want to use. Start with one (Serper recommended), add more later.

### Which provider should I start with?

Serper — fastest, cheapest, largest free tier (2,500 queries/month), and handles most queries well.

### What if I run out of free queries?

The skill automatically falls back to your other configured providers. Or switch to SearXNG (unlimited, self-hosted).

### How much does this cost?

Free tiers: 2,500 (Serper) + 1,000 (Tavily) + 1,000 (Exa) = 4,500+ free searches/month
SearXNG: Completely free (just ~$5/mo if you self-host on a VPS)
Paid plans: Start around $10-50/month depending on provider

### Is SearXNG really private?

Yes, if self-hosted. You control the server, no tracking, no profiling. Public instances depend on the operator's policy.

### How do I set up SearXNG?

# Docker (5 minutes)
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 searxng/searxng

Then enable JSON API in settings.yml. See docs.searxng.org.

### Why did it route my query to the "wrong" provider?

Sometimes queries are ambiguous. Use --explain-routing to see why, then override with -p provider if needed.

### 🔄 Automatic Fallback

If one provider fails (rate limit, timeout, error), the skill automatically tries the next provider. You'll see routing.fallback_used: true in the response when this happens.

### 📤 Output Format

{
  "provider": "serper",
  "query": "iPhone 16 price",
  "results": [{"title": "...", "url": "...", "snippet": "...", "score": 0.95}],
  "routing": {
    "auto_routed": true,
    "provider": "serper",
    "confidence": 0.78,
    "confidence_level": "high"
  }
}

### ⚠ Important Note

Tavily, Serper, and Exa are NOT core OpenClaw providers.

❌ Don't modify ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json for these
✅ Use this skill's scripts — keys auto-load from .env

### 🔒 Security

SearXNG SSRF Protection: The SearXNG instance URL is validated with defense-in-depth:

Enforces http/https schemes only
Blocks cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254, metadata.google.internal)
Resolves hostnames and blocks private/internal IPs (loopback, RFC1918, link-local, reserved)
Operators who intentionally self-host on private networks can set SEARXNG_ALLOW_PRIVATE=1
