dsh-web-search-toggle

DeepSeek Harness users often face the issue where the model does not automatically invoke the web search tool, leading to outdated answers or a lack of source citations. The dsh-web-search-toggle plugin addresses this pain point. By adding a pill-shaped toggle button directly into the chat input row, it allows users to control the conversation mode effortlessly. When activated, the plugin injects a mandatory directive into the system prompt, ensuring the AI performs a web search before generating any response.

The core capability of this plugin lies in its lightweight yet powerful enforcement mechanism. Utilizing the DeepSeek Harness plugin architecture, it dynamically modifies the system prompt during prompt assembly to force the model to invoke the web_search tool. This design not only replicates the interaction experience of the official DeepSeek web chat but also solves the randomness often associated with LLM tool calling, making responses significantly more reliable.

Whether you are a developer conducting in-depth research or a general user needing up-to-the-minute news, this plugin significantly enhances efficiency. It supports session-based state persistence, remembering your settings even after a host restart. By keeping the AI in a strict "must-search" mode, it ensures that the information you receive is always current and sourced correctly.
