A standalone OpenClaw plugin that exposes web_search_plus as a native tool with multi-provider routing.

It bundles its own Python backend script and supports:

• Serper (Google) — best for factual/shopping queries
• Tavily — best for research & analysis
• Exa (Neural) — best for discovery & semantic search
• You.com — real-time web + RAG
• SearXNG — self-hosted privacy-first search

The tool auto-routes queries by intent or you can force a specific provider.

• Registers native tool: web_search_plus
• Runs bundled script at scripts/search.py
• Supports:
  • query (required)
  • provider (serper | tavily | exa | you | searxng | auto)
  • count (result count)

Add plugin path to plugins.load.paths and enable in plugins.entries.
