What is Intel Search?
Intel Search is a robust information gathering tool designed for Openclaw Skills that enables users to monitor a wide array of global events including breaking news, earthquake data, and financial trends. By fetching data from World Monitor and storing it locally, it provides a high-speed, privacy-conscious search experience that functions like a simplified, localized search engine. This skill is particularly valuable for users who need to track specific geopolitical developments or industry shifts such as tech layoffs without the overhead of managing multiple API subscriptions.
Intel Search Use Cases
- Tracking real-time updates on regional conflicts or geopolitical events in areas like Iran and the Middle East.
- Monitoring global seismic activity and earthquake reports for disaster awareness.
- Analyzing financial market trends and tech industry layoffs across various sectors.
- Conducting bilingual research with automatic translation support for English and Chinese speakers.
How Intel Search Works
- The user installs the necessary environment including Node.js and the Playwright browser automation framework.
- The skill executes a fetch command to retrieve the latest global datasets from World Monitor into a local directory.
- A query script is used to perform full-text matches against the localized data using specific keywords.
- Users apply optional time filters to narrow down results to the last few hours, days, or weeks.
- The skill detects the query language and presents the results in either English or Chinese, translating content automatically when necessary.
Intel Search Setup
To begin using this skill within your Openclaw Skills environment, follow these steps:
# Install dependencies and browser binaries
cd {baseDir} && npm install && npx playwright install chromium
# Fetch or update the local dataset
node scripts/fetch.mjs
# Run a query with optional time parameters
node scripts/query.mjs [query] [time]
Intel Search Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill manages its data locally to ensure speed and privacy. The primary data structure is organized as follows:
| Location | Description |
|---|---|
~/.openclaw/intel-data/ |
The default directory where all fetched news and event data is stored. |
INTEL_DATA_DIR |
An environment variable that allows users to override the default storage path. |
scripts/fetch.mjs |
The script responsible for populating the local database with fresh information. |
scripts/query.mjs |
The query engine that processes full-text search and time-based filtering. |
Intel Search Advanced Features
- Local data querying ensures zero reliance on third-party search APIs and improves response latency.
- Built-in bilingual support allows for seamless switching between English and Chinese based on user input.
- Flexible time-relative filtering supports specific windows such as 30min, 3h, 2d, or 1w.
- Multi-topic optimization for high-interest keywords like layoffs, finance, and earthquake monitoring.
