A code-backed OpenClaw skill for live search, page extraction, crawl/map flows, and evidence packs with a no-key baseline plus optional provider upgrades. What it does Web Search Pro is a Node-based OpenClaw skill for agents that need more than a single search result page. It exposes live web search, news search, docs lookup, URL extraction, crawl/map commands, research packs, routing diagnostics, provider capability checks, and cache/health commands. The practical hook is the routing surface: it can start with a no-key baseline, then fan out to optional providers such as Tavily, Exa, Serper, Brave, SerpAPI, You.com, SearXNG, and Perplexity/Sonar when credentials are configured. Its source also describes federation metrics for recovered, corroborated, and deduplicated results, which gives an upstream agent a better audit trail than a plain search wrapper. Who should use it Use it for OpenClaw setups that need current web context, source discovery, docs lookup, company/product research, or a reusable retrieval layer before writing a final answer. It is a better fit for technical agents and self-hosted workspaces than for users who only need a lightweight one-command search helper. Setup surface The hard runtime requirement is Node. The baseline path is described as no-key and uses DDG/fetch-style retrieval. Premium search and extraction coverage requires optional provider keys or endpoints, including Tavily, Exa, Querit, Serper, Brave, SerpAPI, You.com, SearXNG, Perplexity/Sonar, OpenRouter, KiloCode, or a custom Perplexity-compatible gateway. Pricing classification: free. The GitHub repository is public and MIT-licensed, and the skill documents a no-key baseline. Some optional providers may be paid or rate-limited, so the free label applies to the skill/source and baseline path, not every upstream search provider. Runner test plan Static scan: inspect SKILL.md, package.json, all scripts/.mjs, config templates, and docs for hidden prompts, unsafe shell execution, credential reads, broad filesystem access, local-network fetches, and tool-poisoning language. Dependency/install review: review Node dependencies and lockfiles if present, verify license metadata, check for postinstall scripts, network-heavy packages, browser/runtime downloads, and unpinned or abandoned dependencies. Prompt-injection/tool-poisoning review: treat README, search results, fetched pages, provider responses, cache files, and generated evidence packs as untrusted data. Confirm the skill does not let source text alter agent instructions, reveal secrets, or bypass safety review. Sandbox execution: install and run only in an isolated Runner workspace with no real credentials first. Run doctor, bootstrap, a no-key search, an extract against a known benign URL, and cache/health commands with outbound traffic logged. Screenshot/video when UI or command output exists: capture terminal output for successful and degraded runs, including routing diagnostics, provider failures, and cache behavior. Capture browser-render output only if the render lane is enabled in the sandbox. Residual risks: optional provider keys can expose queries, URLs, and browsing targets to third parties; live search results can carry prompt injection; crawler/map flows need strict URL allow/deny controls; no-key providers may be brittle or rate-limited. Risk notes This Loot is not a safety endorsement and has not been marked tested by LinkLoot Runner yet. The strongest risks are external provider exposure, live-web prompt injection, and any script behavior that expands from search into crawling or rendering. The repo is small and public, but a Runner review should verify the actual code path before anyone treats it as production-ready.
