whiteS18/dsh-bing-search

Free Bing-backed web search provider for DeepSeek Harness (DSH). No API key needed, no search quota consumed.

This is a maintenance fork of godchen520/dsh-web-search-bing, compatible with DSH >=0.1.5-rc.1 <0.3.0 (including 0.2.0-rc.1). The package is dsh-bing-search because dsh-web-search-bing is taken on npm and dsh-websearch-bing was rejected as too similar.

Features

• Completely Free — Uses Bing's public HTML search page, no API key required
• China Accessible — Defaults to cn.bing.com, works in mainland China
• Zero Quota — Doesn't consume DeepSeek or any LLM search quota
• Plug & Play — Switches web_search to bing-free after install
• Configurable — Switch endpoints, language, and result count

Installation

npm:

dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-bing-search

GitHub:

dsh plugin --profile desktop add github:whiteS18/dsh-bing-search

Use web instead of desktop for the web profile. Restart DSH after install.

Or install by hand in the profile directory:

cd $DSH_HOME/profiles/desktop   # usually ~/.dsh/profiles/desktop for the desktop app
pnpm add dsh-bing-search

Then add "dsh-bing-search" to dsh.profile.bundles (after @deepseek-ai/dsh-web-app) and restart DSH.

Note: the directory name under node_modules must equal package.json name. Do not link this package as dsh-web-search-bing, or the desktop app will fail with profile package identity is invalid.

Configuration

This version has no Settings card. Edit ~/.dsh/settings.yaml (hot-reloaded):

bing-search:
  endpoint: https://cn.bing.com/search
  maxResults: 20
  ensearch: 0

Or override in the profile cordis.patch.yml and restart:

- id: bing-search
  config:
    endpoint: https://cn.bing.com/search
    maxResults: 15
    ensearch: 0

Option	Default	Description
endpoint	https://cn.bing.com/search	Search endpoint
maxResults	20	Max results parsed per search
ensearch	0	0 = Chinese results, 1 = English

The Web Search card under Settings → Plugins → Plugin configuration belongs to official web-search-deepseek, not this plugin.

How to confirm Bing is in use

Temporarily set endpoint to an invalid URL and search again. If the error names bing-search and the endpoint you set, this provider handled the request. Restore the endpoint afterwards.

Restoring the default search

Change searchProvider in this plugin's patch back to deepseek-official (or remove this package from bundles) and restart.

How It Works

Queries cn.bing.com/search → parses HTML result blocks (<li class="b_algo">) → extracts title/URL/snippet → returns to DSH's web_search tool.
