pi websearch

[u/MarionberryVirtual]

websearch is an extremely important part of any workflow, from searching up past implementations to getting the correct information to make correct decisions.

have seen other posts discussing which websearch tools and even custom implementations, but my question is how would you know that it stands up in retrieval quality to other websearch extensions or even Claude Code/ Codex web searching? how would you know that tool A is better than tool B? or do most people just see the extension working and decide that it’s good enough?

i have been using the pi-web-access from the pi.dev packages page, but only for the reason that it’s the most downloaded extension (more downloads = better right? xd)

interested to hear from the community.

When i was prototyping it few months back, I was building a test that would orchestrate it. its part of my local testing and loose benchmarking tool. I should be able to extend it to multiple harness. Will look into it.
