About this plugin
The built-in web-search channel in DSH WebUI is a single point of failure: if the one engine behind it goes down, search results simply stop. dsh-cust-search solves this by letting you define an ordered list of search engines in the Settings panel. When one engine hits a network error, an invalid key, or a timeout, the plugin transparently advances to the next enabled engine until it returns results, with no manual retry.
Eleven search channels are ready out of the box, spanning the official DeepSeek bridge, no-key engines (Bing, DuckDuckGo, SearXNG), and popular AI search APIs (Tavily, Exa, Firecrawl, Parallel, Perplexity, and more). All state lives in an isolated user file, so upgrading or removing the plugin never touches DSH system settings.
This plugin is aimed at DSH WebUI users (v0.1.5-rc.1 or later) who rely on web-grounded Q&A and want multi-engine redundancy as a safety net, or who specifically need access to AI search providers like Tavily or Perplexity without building a custom bridge themselves.

Best For
- DSH WebUI users who depend on web-grounded Q&A in daily work
- Heavy search users who want multi-engine redundancy as a safety net
