LM Studio Web Search Plugin

A TypeScript-based web search plugin for LM Studio. This plugin enables local LLMs to access the live web, read page content, and perform pattern matching within web pages.

Features

• Live Web Search: Query the web using DuckDuckGo (no API key required).
• Page Reading: Extract clean, readable text from any URL.
• In-Page Search: Find specific text or regex-style patterns within a web page.
• Domain Filtering: Restrict searches and page reads to specific allowed domains.
• Configurable Context: Adjust the amount of data returned to the model (low, medium, or high).
• Today's Date: Get the current local date and time.
• Privacy Focused: Operates locally as an LM Studio plugin.

Tools Included

The plugin registers four main tools with LM Studio:

• search: Performs web searches. Supports single queries or batches of up to 5 queries.
• read: Opens a URL and extracts its text content, automatically stripping HTML tags, scripts, and styles.
• find_in_page: Searches for a specific pattern (string or regex) within a given URL and returns the surrounding context.
• today: Returns the current local date and time.
