Keenable Web Search

Search query: $ARGUMENTS

Role & Positioning

Keenable is a broad web search source that works without an API key or extra Python packages:

Skill	Best for
/arxiv	Direct preprint search and PDF download
/semantic-scholar	Published venue papers (IEEE, ACM, Springer), citation counts
/exa-search	Broad web search with content extraction (highlights, summaries); needs EXA_API_KEY
/keenable-search	Broad web search with a page-text snippet per result, plus fetching a known URL as markdown; no key needed

Use Keenable when you need results beyond academic databases (blogs, docs, project pages, news) without setting up a search API key, or when you want a known page as clean markdown.

Constants

• KEENABLE_FETCHER: canonical name keenable_search.py, resolved per shared-references/integration-contract.md §2 (Policy D1: standalone /keenable-search has no documented fallback, so an unresolved helper terminates with an explicit error).
• MAX_RESULTS = 10: Default number of results to return (1-50).

Overrides (append to arguments):

• /keenable-search "RAG pipelines", max: 5 (top 5 results)
• /keenable-search "diffusion models", site: arxiv.org (one domain only)
• /keenable-search "foundation models", start date: 2025-01-01 (recent pages only)
• /keenable-search "transformer", max chars: 8000 (longer snippets)
• /keenable-search "https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.00796", fetch (the page as markdown)

Setup

Nothing to install and no account needed: the helper uses only the Python standard library and calls Keenable's public endpoints, which are rate-limited per IP.

Optional, for higher rate limits:

export KEENABLE_API_KEY=your-key-here

Create a key in the Keenable console.
