# Web Search Plus

> Multi-provider web search and page extraction for AI agents. One router, original source URLs, automatic fallback. Hermes plugin and standalone MCP server.

Web Search Plus is the public name of the open-source search stack at [websearchplus.xyz](https://websearchplus.xyz/). It is not a search engine. It is a router that talks to the search and extract APIs you configure, keeps the original links, and moves to the next provider when a key is missing, a call fails, or the result set is empty.

Current release baselines: Hermes plugin **v4.3.1**, MCP server **web-search-plus-mcp==4.3.1**, OpenClaw plugin **v4.3.1**, OpenClaw skill **v4.0.0**. Hermes and MCP 4.3.1 reuse keep-alive provider connections and MCP runs search in-process. Hermes 4.3.0 added a Hermes Desktop settings form and fixes adaptive routing; MCP 4.3.0 carries the routing and `max_results` fixes. Optional `no_cache` and `cache_ttl` from 4.2.1 stay. Catalog pin may lag GitHub/PyPI until a separate SHA bump.
