About this plugin
The stock DSH search provider is pinned to a single Anthropic-compatible endpoint, making it hard to swap gateways or search backends per deployment. dsh-web-search-diy registers as a first-class search provider plugin, letting you point the built-in web_search tool at any compatible backend while keeping search and conversation models fully decoupled. No core config changes are needed when you switch deployments.
The plugin speaks three protocol modes: the OpenAI-compatible Responses API (works with Qwen Token Plan, OpenAI, or any gateway that exposes the web_search tool), Zhipu basic retrieval API, and Zhipu in-chat search that fuses retrieval into a grounded answer. In every mode, results are parsed into a structured citation list with URLs and titles rather than prose scraping. Configuration follows a clear precedence chain, and edits saved through the sidebar config page take effect immediately without a restart.
It suits Harness users who need multi-backend search, want freedom from single-vendor lock-in, and frequently mix gateways such as Alibaba Cloud MaaS and the Zhipu open platform. As long as your model exposes the web_search tool on its gateway, it works as a drop-in replacement.
Use Cases
- Swap search backends (Qwen, Zhipu, OpenAI-compatible) per deployment without touching core DSH config
- Enable web_search on any compatible LLM gateway and receive deduplicated structured citations
- Use Zhipu in-chat search to fuse retrieval into a grounded answer, eliminating manual synthesis
Best For
- DSH users locked to a single search endpoint who need multi-gateway flexibility
- Developers who require structured citation metadata (URLs, titles) alongside search results
- Teams that frequently switch between Alibaba Cloud MaaS and the Zhipu open platform
