Web Search Skill

Name: web-search
Author: yejinlei

A powerful web search skill supporting multiple search engines without requiring API keys.

Features

🔍 Multi-Engine Support: Baidu (Playwright), Bing, DuckDuckGo
🌐 No API Key Required: Uses browser automation and web scraping
🔄 Smart Fallback: Automatically switches engines when one fails
📊 Structured Results: Returns clean search results with title, URL, and snippet
🚀 High Performance: Async support with Playwright browser automation

Usage

Basic Search

result = main({
    "action": "search",
    "query": "Python tutorial",
    "num_results": 5
})

Deep Search

result = main({
    "action": "deep_search",
    "query": "machine learning latest research",
    "num_results": 5
})

Web Page Crawling

result = main({
    "action": "crawl",
    "url": "https://example.com"
})

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
action	string	Yes	Operation type: "search", "deep_search", or "crawl"
query	string	Conditional	Search query (required for search/deep_search)
url	string	Conditional	Target URL (required for crawl)

Output Format

Search Result

{
    "success": True,
    "query": "search query",
    "engine": "baidu+playwright",
    "num_results": 5,
    "results": [
        {
            "title": "Result title",
            "href": "https://...",
            "body": "Snippet content"
        }
    ],
    "message": "Search completed"
}

Deep Search Result

{
    "success": True,
    "query": "search query",
    "search_results": [...],
    "detailed_info": {
        "extracted_content": "..."
    },
    "message": "Deep search completed"
}

Execution

type: script script_path: scripts/web_search.py entry_point: main dependencies:

uv>=0.1.0
requests>=2.28.0
baidusearch>=1.0.3
crawl4ai>=0.8.0
playwright>=1.40.0

Search Strategy

Primary: baidusearch library (fastest, no browser)
Secondary: Playwright + Baidu (most reliable, bypasses anti-bot)
Tertiary: DuckDuckGo (privacy-focused)
Fallback: Bing (international)

Notes

First Run: Playwright will download Chromium browser on first use (~100MB)
Rate Limiting: Be mindful of search frequency to avoid temporary blocks
Network: Requires internet connection
Results: May vary based on search engine algorithms and location

Error Handling

Returns {"success": False, "message": "..."} on errors
Automatically retries with fallback engines
Graceful degradation when optional dependencies are missing
