What is Augmented Search?

Augmented Search is a sophisticated toolset designed to provide AI agents with high-efficiency local and web search capabilities. By integrating SearXNG and specialized code search providers, this skill allows agents to perform hybrid retrieval that significantly improves search relevance, reaching up to 80% accuracy through embedding-based re-ranking. It is a critical component for developers building Openclaw Skills that require reliable, real-time access to the web or technical documentation.

The skill excels at handling complex search workflows, allowing for simultaneous multi-keyword queries and deep content extraction. It handles the nuances of modern web pages, including JavaScript rendering and paginated reading, ensuring that agents receive the most comprehensive and clean data possible for their reasoning tasks.

Augmented Search Use Cases

  • Performing concurrent searches across multiple keywords to gather diverse perspectives on a single topic.
  • Retrieving specific programming library documentation and code samples for React, Vue, or other frameworks.
  • Extracting clean text and headings from complex, JavaScript-heavy websites.
  • Implementing a private, local search infrastructure for agents using SearXNG instances.

How Augmented Search Works

  1. The AI agent initiates a search request containing specific keywords and a thought process log.
  2. The skill executes concurrent queries (up to 3 keywords) via a SearXNG instance or code library index.
  3. Search results are processed through hybrid retrieval and optional embedding re-ranking to prioritize the most relevant information.
  4. The agent can then use the read tool to fetch full content, extract specific sections, or paginate through long documents.
  5. Specialized library tools allow for targeted identification of programming packages and direct retrieval of their technical manuals.

Augmented Search Setup

To deploy this search capability within Openclaw Skills, you first need a SearXNG instance. The recommended way to install is via Docker:

docker run -d --name searxng -p 8080:8080 searxng/searxng:latest
docker run -d --name augmented-search -p 3000:3000 \
  -e SEARXNG_URL=http://host.docker.internal:8080 \
  ghcr.io/sebrinass/mcp-augmented-search:latest

Alternatively, you can install via npm:

npm install -g augmented-search
SEARXNG_URL=http://localhost:8080 augmented-search

Augmented Search Data Schema & Taxonomy

The skill organizes data into four primary functional areas to support agent operations:

Tool Primary Data Output
search Concurrent search results including snippets, URLs, and relevance rankings.
read Markdown-formatted web content with support for pagination and section targeting.
library_search Validated library IDs and metadata for technical packages.
library_docs Structured documentation segments and code examples.

Configuration is managed via environment variables such as SEARXNG_URL and optional embedding API keys for re-ranking logic.

Augmented Search Advanced Features

  • Hybrid retrieval re-ranking that boosts search accuracy to approximately 80% using embedding models.
  • Multi-keyword concurrency allowing up to three simultaneous searches per request.
  • Intelligent content extraction with JavaScript rendering fallback and heading-only modes.
  • Context7 integration for high-fidelity programming library and documentation lookup.
  • Support for both MCP protocol and standard REST API endpoints for maximum flexibility.
