Why You Need multi-search-engine

OpenClaw's built-in web search is limited to a single provider. Multi Search Engine integrates 17 search engines — 8 Chinese and 9 global — so your agent can search across Baidu, Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo, Sogou, WolframAlpha, and more without needing a single API key.

With over 1,400 downloads, this skill is popular because it works out of the box with zero configuration. It supports advanced search operators, time filters, site-specific search, privacy-focused engines, and knowledge queries through WolframAlpha. For research-heavy workflows, having access to multiple search engines means you get more diverse and comprehensive results.

This is especially useful for multilingual research, competitive analysis, or any workflow where a single search engine's results aren't enough.

Common Use Cases

  • Search across 17 engines simultaneously for comprehensive research results
  • Use Chinese search engines (Baidu, Sogou, 360) for China-specific information
  • Run privacy-focused searches through DuckDuckGo and other private engines
  • Query WolframAlpha for mathematical and knowledge-based questions
  • Perform multilingual research without switching between search providers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need API keys for any of the search engines?

No. Multi Search Engine works entirely without API keys. It uses direct URL-based search integration, so there's nothing to configure.

Does it need network access?

Yes. The skill needs network permission to send search queries to the various search engines and retrieve results.

Can I choose which search engines to use?

Yes. You can specify which engines to query or use all 17. The skill supports engine-specific search operators and features.
