bing-search

What This Skill Does

The bing-search skill provides OpenClaw agents with the ability to perform real-time internet searches without needing expensive API keys. By leveraging the power of Bing for search indexing and Jina.ai for intelligent content scraping, the agent can fetch up-to-date information, technical documentation, or breaking news directly within your workspace. The skill automatically transforms raw web pages into clean, LLM-friendly text summaries, allowing the agent to synthesize information quickly and accurately.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/azzazhang/bing-search-free

Ensure your workspace is configured to allow network requests, as the agent will need to communicate with external web services to fetch search results.

Use Cases

• Research Assistant: Quickly gather background information on specific topics or trending news without leaving your terminal.
• Technical Debugging: Search for library documentation, error codes, or community discussions when troubleshooting code.
• Content Curation: Aggregate multiple sources to compare viewpoints or gather data for reports.
• Fact-Checking: Verify information in real-time while drafting documents or processing automated tasks.

Example Prompts

1. "Find the latest updates on Python 3.13 release notes and summarize the main changes for me."
2. "Search for top-rated open source project management tools and list their key features."
3. "Look up current trends in artificial intelligence for the past week and provide a concise briefing."

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: Because this is a free, public-facing service, avoid running high-frequency loops or mass scraping tasks. Overloading the service may result in temporary IP blocks.
• Content Quality: The quality of the summary depends on how Jina.ai parses the target website; highly dynamic or JavaScript-heavy pages may occasionally return partial data.
• Efficiency: Use the max_results parameter to keep tokens usage low when you only need a quick answer.
• Maintenance: If you receive empty results consistently, check your network connection or verify that the external services are not undergoing maintenance.
