Preface¶
DeepSeek Harness (DSH) uses a plugin-based architecture, aiming to expand the capability boundaries of intelligent agents through modularization. When performing web searches, results from a single search engine may be biased or incomplete. To address this pain point, the plugin bryan-cmf/dsh-cross-search provides multi-engine parallel retrieval and cross-validation, helping developers build more reliable search workflows.
Plugin Overview¶
- Plugin Name:
bryan-cmf/dsh-cross-search - Author: Bryan-cmf
- Category: Web tools
- Open-source License: MIT
Core Features¶
This plugin mainly solves the following problems:
- Multi-engine cross-validation search: Simultaneously calls multiple sources such as Brave, Tavily, DuckDuckGo, and Wikipedia, and compares result consistency.
- Parallel queries: No need to wait serially; initiates multiple query requests simultaneously to improve retrieval efficiency.
- URL deduplication: Automatically handles URLs in query results, removing duplicates and tracking parameters.
- Confidence grading: Classifies search results into different levels based on how many engines agree on the same result.
- Engine source tracking: Explicitly marks the data source engine in returned results.
Installation and Enablement¶
In the DSH configuration file, introduce the plugin package through profile.bundles.
"dsh": {
"profile": {
"bundles": ["@bryan-cmf/dsh-cross-search"]
}
}
Configuration and Runtime¶
The plugin supports adjusting search behavior and the engine list via configuration items.
Environment Variables¶
Before use, configure the corresponding API Keys in the environment. If not configured, the plugin automatically skips the corresponding engine.
| Engine | Environment Variable | Keyless Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| Brave | BRAVE_API_KEY |
Not supported |
| Tavily | TAVILY_API_KEY |
Not supported |
| Bing | BING_API_KEY |
Not supported |
| Mojeek | MOJEEK_API_KEY |
Not supported |
| DuckDuckGo | — | Supports HTML endpoint |
| Wikipedia | — | Supports REST API (wikiLang config) |
Configuration Parameters¶
| Parameter | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
engines |
brave, tavily, duckduckgo, wikipedia, bing, mojeek | Engine list for queries, determines attempt order |
timeoutMs |
8000 |
Timeout per engine (milliseconds) |
perEngine |
8 |
Number of results returned per engine |
wikiLang |
zh |
Wikipedia language setting |
Confidence Grading¶
The plugin grades results based on the number of active engines participating in validation and their consistency:
| Confidence | Condition | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 🟢 HIGH | ≥ 50% of active engines agree | Independently verified |
| 🟡 MEDIUM | ≥ 2 engines agree | Partially verified |
| 🔴 LOW | Single-engine result | Honest unverified |
