multi-search-engine

Use it when: you want web results from several search engines at once, without signing up for a search API
It does: fetches result pages from 16 engines' websites, using 7 Chinese engines for Chinese queries and 9 international ones otherwise
You get: one summary report merged from every engine that answered
Engines: Baidu, Sogou, WeChat and four more for Chinese; Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage, WolframAlpha and four more otherwise
Needs: an agent that can fetch web pages; no API keys or accounts

TLDR

Instead of calling a search API, the agent fetches ordinary search-result pages, as a browser would. A query in Chinese goes to seven Chinese engines (Baidu, Bing China and international, 360, Sogou, WeChat search and Shenma); anything else goes to nine international ones (Google, Google Hong Kong, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Startpage, Brave, Ecosia, Qwant and WolframAlpha). Requests go out in small batches, a second or two apart, and a blocked request is retried once. The skill also lists search operators (site:, filetype:, exact phrases, exclusions), Google's time filters from the past hour to the past year, DuckDuckGo shortcuts such as !gh to search GitHub, and WolframAlpha queries for math, currency conversion and stock prices. Complying with each engine's terms of service is left to you.

Multi Search Engine

Integration of 16 search engines for web crawling without API keys.

Workflow

Preparation: AI Agent initializes an empty in-memory cookie store. Cookies are only acquired dynamically during search operations when access is denied
Language Evaluation: Detect the language attribute of the search query. If the query is in Chinese, use Domestic search engines (Baidu, Bing CN, Bing INT, 360, Sogou, WeChat, Shenma). If the query is non-Chinese, use International search engines (Google, Google HK, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Startpage, Brave, Ecosia, Qwant, WolframAlpha). Select engines based on query relevance and availability.
Controlled Search: Use web_fetch to execute search requests with rate limiting:
- Add 1-2 second delay between requests to respect server load
- Batch requests in groups of 3-4 engines with sequential execution between batches
- Include standard browser headers to identify as legitimate user agent
- If access is denied (403/429), fetch engine homepage to obtain fresh session cookies
Cookie Management:
- Cookies are stored ONLY in memory during runtime
- Cookies are acquired on-demand when search requests fail
- No cookies are read from or written to config.json or any file
- Cookies are cleared after search session completes
- Only session cookies from search engine domains are captured
Retry Mechanism: If a search fails due to cookie/session issues, retry once with freshly acquired cookies after a 2-second delay
Result Aggregation: Consolidate successful results from search engines, organize and summarize them to output a core search report
