multi-search-engine is a Claude Code skill that builds no-API-key search URLs across 17 engines for developers who need multi-engine web research with advanced operators and privacy options.

About

multi-search-engine (v2.0.1) from family3253/skill integrates 17 search engines—8 Chinese and 9 global—into one agent-facing reference for web crawling without API keys. The skill constructs direct query URLs for Google, Baidu, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage, Qwant, WolframAlpha, and others, supporting operators such as site:, filetype:, exact quotes, exclusions, OR logic, and time filters from past hour to past year. DuckDuckGo Bangs shortcuts like !gh for GitHub and !so for Stack Overflow accelerate targeted lookups. Developers use multi-search-engine with web_fetch against prebuilt URLs for cross-engine comparison, academic PDF discovery, and privacy-focused searches. The skill documents engine-specific URL patterns in config.json and reference guides rather than calling proprietary search APIs.

FAQ

How many search engines does multi-search-engine cover?

multi-search-engine v2.0.1 integrates 17 search engines, split between 8 Chinese and 9 global options. The skill builds direct query URLs for each engine so agents can fetch results with web_fetch and no API credentials.
