name: search3 description: Meta web search with automatic fallback. Use when user asks to search the web and you want a resilient search pipeline: try Brave web_search first, then Tavily Search API, then Firecrawl Search (or scrape) if earlier providers fail or return no results.

search3 (Brave → Tavily → Firecrawl)

Use this skill to make web search more reliable by falling back across three providers.

What it does

Try Brave using the built-in web_search tool.

For Chinese, always use:
- search_lang: "zh-hans"
- ui_lang: "zh-CN"

If Brave errors / returns empty, try Tavily via script: {baseDir}/scripts/search3.py tavily ...
If Tavily fails / returns empty, try Firecrawl via script: {baseDir}/scripts/search3.py firecrawl ...

How to run (preferred)

Run the helper script and paste the JSON output back into the conversation:

python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/search3.py" all --query "<your query>" --max-results 8 --lang zh-hans

Provider-only mode

python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/search3.py" brave --query "..."
python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/search3.py" tavily --query "..."
python3 "{baseDir}/scripts/search3.py" firecrawl --query "..."

Output

The script prints JSON:

providerUsed: brave|tavily|firecrawl
query
results: array of { title, url, snippet }
errors: any provider errors encountered before success

Requirements

Uses env vars (already configured in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json):
- TAVILY_API_KEY
- FIRECRAWL_API_KEY

If a key is missing, that provider is skipped.
