Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

web-search-plus-plugin

Multi-provider web search plugin for OpenClaw.

Install

openclaw plugins install clawhub:web-search-plus-plugin

It registers a web_search_plus tool that can query multiple providers and auto-route to the one that best fits the query.

Why use this instead of OpenClaw's built-in web_search?

OpenClaw's built-in web_search uses Brave Search.

You might want this plugin when:

  • Brave returns thin or no results for a query, but Serper/Google or You.com still finds relevant pages.
  • You want research-oriented output; Tavily can return structured results that are easier to summarize.
  • You want semantic discovery; Exa can find related content that plain keyword search may miss.

Supported providers:

  • Serper (Google)
  • Tavily
  • Exa
  • Querit
  • Perplexity
  • You.com
  • SearXNG

What you need

You do not need every provider.

You need at least one configured provider:

  • an API key for any hosted provider, or
  • a SearXNG instance URL

Quick setup

cp .env.template .env
# add at least one API key or SearXNG URL

Then load the plugin in OpenClaw and restart the gateway.

Provider overview

| Provider | Best for | Free tier | Rate limit (free) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Serper | Google-style general web, news, shopping, local results | Yes | 2,500/mo | | Tavily | Research-style results and summaries | Yes | 1,000/mo | | Exa | Semantic / neural discovery | Yes | 1,000/mo | | Querit | Multilingual and regional search | Yes | Varies | | Perplexity | Answer-style web results with citations | Limited / depends on plan | API credits required | | You.com | General web + answer-oriented results | Limited | 60 req/hr | | SearXNG | Self-hosted metasearch | Yes, self-hosted | Self-hosted, unlimited |

Auto-routing logic

The plugin scores each query against the providers you have configured and picks the best match for that query type. If the first choice is unavailable or fails, it falls back to another configured provider instead of failing immediately.

Notes

  • Auto-routing chooses among configured providers only.
  • If a provider is missing credentials, it is skipped.
  • SearXNG includes SSRF protection by default.
  • SEARXNG_ALLOW_PRIVATE=true disables that protection and should only be used on trusted private networks.

Environment variables

  • SERPER_API_KEY
  • TAVILY_API_KEY
