What is privatedeepsearch-melt?
privatedeepsearch-melt, also known as melt, is a specialized research assistant designed for users who demand absolute privacy and data sovereignty. Unlike mainstream AI search tools that log every query and build consumer profiles, melt functions as a local research engine that forgets every interaction the moment the task is finished. It is a robust addition to the ecosystem of Openclaw Skills, allowing users to perform deep web analysis without leaving a digital footprint.
Powered by SearXNG, melt aggregates data from engines like DuckDuckGo, Brave, and Startpage while strictly blocking Google and Bing. It offers a sophisticated multi-round research workflow that mimics the depth of platforms like Perplexity, but operates entirely on your local machine. This architecture ensures that your research queries remain private, encrypted, and beyond the reach of Big Tech data brokers.
privatedeepsearch-melt Use Cases
- Performing deep technical or academic research without being tracked by advertising networks.
- Generating comprehensive reports with full citations for sensitive projects.
- Bypassing search engine filter bubbles to find objective, diverse perspectives from multiple engines.
- Self-hosting a private research stack that integrates seamlessly with other Openclaw Skills.
How privatedeepsearch-melt Works
- The skill receives a research query and initiates a private meta-search via a local SearXNG instance.
- It analyzes the top results and automatically generates refined search terms for deeper context.
- The system performs up to five rounds of iterative searching and content scraping to gather dense data.
- Article content is scraped asynchronously for high performance and synthesized into a structured report.
- The final output is delivered with full citations, ensuring all information is verifiable.
- All session data and logs are immediately purged to maintain total user anonymity.
privatedeepsearch-melt Setup
To deploy this skill, ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed. Use the following commands to initialize the environment:
# Run the auto-setup script
./setup.sh
# Or start the containers manually
cd docker && docker-compose up -d
Once the local server is running at http://localhost:8888, install the skill into your agent framework:
cp -r skills/* ~/.clawdbot/skills/
# Or use the hub
clawdhub install privatedeepsearch-melt
