Search resources

kdeps provides two native search executors compiled into the binary: searchLocal for local file search and searchWeb for web search.

Where it runs

Both workflow mode and agent mode. In workflow mode each executor runs as a DAG step. In agent mode, the workflow containing these resources runs as a single callable tool.

searchLocal

Walks a local directory and returns matching files by filename glob pattern and/or content keyword, with an optional persistent TF-IDF index for ranked results.

searchLocal:
  path: "/data/documents"
  query: "invoice total"
  glob: "*.txt"

See searchLocal Resource for the full field reference, indexed/ranked search, and graphBoost.

searchWeb

Queries the web and returns structured results. Default provider is DuckDuckGo - no connection or API key required; Brave, Bing, and Tavily need a named connection.

searchWeb:
  query: "{{ get('query') }}"
  maxResults: 5

See searchWeb Resource for the full field reference, provider setup, and error handling.
