DeepSeek launched their search API so I had to build a search engine on top of it.

The search engine is very simple: add your DeepSeek API credentials or OAuth with your DeepSeek account and you can search the web using their API and view results in a familiar web interface.

Credentials are stored locally only.

The search engine exposes the operators from the API: - Time - Language - Exact terms with "..." (like Google used to) - Forbidden terms with "-" - Site search and excluded sites

Search results expose things like domain authority, rank etc.

You can also switch to Ask and get a generated response for your question.

Give it a try and see if this works as a Google replacement. So far the results seem passable but I've only done quick test queries.

I also shared the source on GitHub so you could self-host or fork it into a local client.

The most interesting thing here would be to build a local client with history/memory, so that your knowledge compounds.
