Web Search Fallback Skill

Overview

Provides robust web search capabilities using the autonomous agent approach (Task tool with general-purpose agent) when the built-in WebSearch tool fails, errors, or hits usage limits. This method has been tested and proven to work reliably where HTML scraping fails.

When to Apply

• WebSearch returns validation or tool errors
• You hit daily or session usage limits
• WebSearch shows "Did 0 searches"
• You need guaranteed search results
• HTML scraping methods fail due to bot protection
