Integration of 17 search engines for web crawling without API keys.

  • Works in 5 steps: Default: Use DuckDuckGo or Brave for… → Chinese content: Use Baidu or Bing CN → Academic/PDF: Use Google with filetype:pdf → …
  • Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots
  • SKILL.md covers Search Engines, Quick Examples, Advanced Operators and Time Filters, plus 6 more sections

What it does

Multi Search Engine is an agent skill from wentorai/Research-Claw. Integration of 17 search engines for web crawling without API keys. Includes 8 domestic (Baidu, Bing CN, 360, Sogou, WeChat, Toutiao, Jisilu) and 9 international engines (Google, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Startpage, Brave, Ecosia, Qwant, WolframAlpha).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with Wolfram Alpha and WeChat. The repository describes itself as: In the AI era, why can't everyone be a Principal Investigator?

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots

Example prompts

  • “/multi-search-engine”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Default: Use DuckDuckGo or Brave for privacy
  2. Chinese content: Use Baidu or Bing CN
  3. Academic/PDF: Use Google with filetype:pdf
  4. Computations: Use WolframAlpha
  5. Code search: Use DuckDuckGo bangs (!gh, !so)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5015be7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • google.com
    • duckduckgo.com
    • cn.bing.com
    • wolframalpha.com
    • baidu.com
    • so.com
    • sogou.com
    • wx.sogou.com
    • so.toutiao.com
    • jisilu.cn
    • google.com.hk
    • search.yahoo.com
    • startpage.com
    • search.brave.com
    • ecosia.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Multi Search Engine loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 277 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 277 words (~1,123 tokens).
