Show HN: DeepSearch – Search engine built on DeepSeek API

By try-working 1 min read 2 views 0 comments

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 sitesSearch 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.https://github.com/try-works/deepsearch
