dsh-search-switcher

A compact web-search-engine switcher for the DeepSeek Harness composer. It renders immediately to the left of the model picker and changes the preferred engine without opening Settings or typing a slash command.

中文：在 DeepSeek Harness 输入栏的模型切换器左侧提供搜索引擎热切换下拉菜单，无需打开设置或输入命令。

Features

• Composer control next to the model picker via conversation.input.right.
• Scrollable engine list with the current engine marked.
• Reads and writes the free-search.provider setting through the loopback bridge.
• Supports the ten engines exposed by dsh-free-search:
  • DuckDuckGo HTML
  • DuckDuckGo Lite
  • Bing
  • AnySearch AI
  • SearXNG
  • Exa
  • Tavily
  • Keenable
  • Perplexity
  • DeepSeek Official
• Uses the Harness theme variables and supports keyboard escape/outside-click dismissal.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness Web profile with Node.js 20 or newer.
• dsh-free-search >=0.4.7, which owns the settings bridge and the search provider.

The switcher only changes the preferred provider. It does not bypass provider authentication, API-key requirements, or network restrictions. On networks that block api.deepseek.com, use Bing, DuckDuckGo, SearXNG, or another reachable provider instead of DeepSeek Official.

Install

Using the Harness plugin CLI:

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/Hudson-Junior-Wang/dsh-search-switcher.git

If your CLI uses the profile as the current default, this is equivalent:

dsh plugin add https://github.com/Hudson-Junior-Wang/dsh-search-switcher.git

Install dsh-free-search as well if it is not already present:

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/DDDMUC/dsh-free-search.git

Then restart the Harness host or reload the Web UI. The new control appears immediately left of the model selector in an active conversation.

Manual profile installation

Add the package to the profile dependencies and add dsh-search-switcher to dsh.profile.bundles. The package's cordis.patch.yml loads its entry automatically.

If the profile already contains a manually inserted dsh-search-switcher entry, remove that manual patch before using dsh plugin add; otherwise the same loader entry can be registered twice.

Development

node --check lib/client.js
node --check lib/index.js

The client bundle is intentionally a self-contained ModuleLoader bundle so it can be served by the Harness client-module system without a separate build step.
