Local Web Search

Run local search without paid APIs.

Command

bash
./skills/local-web-search/scripts/local_search.py "<query>" --max 8

Output

Returns JSON with:

  • query
  • count
  • disclaimer
  • security
  • results[] {title, url, snippet, trust{score,tier,reason}}

Trust Scoring

  • high: docs/papers/.gov/.edu/authoritative domains
  • medium: reputable publications/default domains
  • low: user-generated platforms (e.g., dev.to, medium, substack)
Use trust score for ranking/filtering only; always verify key claims with primary sources.

Security

  • No environment/token exfiltration
  • No external writes
  • Outbound HTTPS GET only to search endpoint

Reliability

  • Handles transient errors with exponential backoff + jitter
  • Public scraping behavior can change; parser may need updates
