Obscura Web Search
Use Obscura through Docker as the browser layer for web search. Fetch a search-result page, parse results, browse selected pages, and answer only from sources you could retrieve.
Quick Start
- Read Obscura Docker Runbook for the Docker search helper and launch patterns.
- Read Search Workflow for query construction, parsing, retries, and output shape.
- Read Result Browsing And Citations before making factual claims from search results.
- Use
scripts/obscura_search.py for repeatable searches and optional top-result browsing.
Workflow
- Turn the user's request into a focused search query.
- Run Dockerized Obscura against the search page with
scripts/obscura_search.py.
- Inspect parsed results; if parsing fails, retry once with a narrower query or alternate template.
- Browse the top relevant result pages before answering.
- Cite browsed URLs and state blocked pages, weak results, or parser failures.
Sample Applications
See Sample Applications for source-finding, CDP lookup, install-method comparison, and parser-failure examples.
