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
