dsh-search-boost

dsh-search-boost

Search boost for DeepSeek Harness (DSH): multi-engine fused search, focused page fetching, X (Twitter) search, step-mode deep research, parallel multi-agent research, and an injected proactive-search policy.

A bundle plugin for DSH that upgrades the built-in web_search / web_fetch and registers a family of search tools.

Search engines live in lib/: on the free layer, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and Exa-free run in parallel; the api layer adds Antigravity CLI (when available) and keyed Tavily / Brave / Exa when keys are present (one key is enough; all three recommended for best fusion).

Search layers

Two layers, switched at runtime with /web_change (persisted to ~/.dsh-search-boost-layer.json):

Keyless engines run in parallel so one failure never leaves you empty-handed. Fused ranking adds cross-engine co-occurrence scoring and half-life time-decay freshness.

Features

Installation (bundle — recommended)

From npm (recommended):

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-search-boost          # latest
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-search-boost@0.1.3    # pin a version
dsh plugin --profile web update dsh-search-boost       # update to a newer release

--profile <name> is required (web is the standard web-UI profile). DSH uses pnpm to resolve the package, auto-wires the dsh.bundle.patch layer, and adds it to the profile's bundle list — no manual config editing. Restart dsh --profile web.

From source (development):

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Mr-remon219/dsh-search-boost
dsh plugin --profile web add git+file:///path/to/repo

Or use the install script (syntax check → key setup → install → verification):

.\install.ps1          # Windows
./install.sh           # Linux / macOS

Verify:

dsh --profile web --dump-config   # web.searchProvider → dsh-search-boost
dsh --profile web

Troubleshooting: missing dsh or pnpm

If you run DSH via npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web, there is no global dsh binary — install globally or use npx directly:

npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh
# or:
npx --yes @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-search-boost

dsh plugin needs pnpm (npm install -g pnpm or corepack).

Alternative: session-level dynamic plugin (plugin-host.js)

plugin-host.js is a single-file dynamic plugin for per-session boosts. It does not replace built-in web_search. The bundle form (above) is recommended for deployment-level integration.

Configuration (API keys)

The published bundle contains no secrets. Keys load from:

1. ~/.dsh-search-boost-keys.json or ./.search-boost-keys.json:

{ "tavily": "tvly-...", "exa": "...", "brave": "..." }

1. Environment: TAVILY_API_KEY / EXA_API_KEY / BRAVE_API_KEY

Engines without a key are dropped from the fan-out automatically.

Free layer needs zero configuration. Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and Exa MCP (exa-free) are keyless and run in parallel. Antigravity CLI (agy) is optional and only joins in the api layer (medium/complex tiers) when installed and signed in.

x_search credentials (optional)

~/.grok/auth.json is never auto-consumed. Without /x-login or XAI_API_KEY, x_search uses only the credential-free chain.

Integration scenarios

Architecture notes

• Runs in the host process (Node fetch / child_process directly).
• HTML scrapers (Bing / DDG / Yahoo) use IPv4-forced fetch — undici on Windows defaults to IPv6-first DNS, which intermittently times out against search hosts.
• X search: official path (lib/xsearch.js) → credential-free chain (lib/xfallback.js: multi-engine + oEmbed + guest GraphQL) with sync preflight when no credentials.
