Own your LLM's web search: a local search->fetch->rank pipeline that replaces hosted web-search tools. Measured: matches hosted accuracy at 66% lower cost and up to 88% fewer tokens, plus a precision-tuned semantic caching with query-dependant TTL that no API offers.

Setup

Choose your client, copy the config, then fill in any required environment variables.
