量子位 · wechat · 2026-07-13
AnySearch hit #1 on Product Hunt's weekly chart. After testing it, the author concluded that it's not a search engine for humans, but rather a search engine built for **Agents**. ### Key Features - Supports integration via **API / MCP / Skill**, with the author primarily testing the Skill integration. - Goes beyond standard web search by connecting to **20+ vertical data sources**, covering code, legal, academic, finance, security, and corporate business sectors. - Performs **intent recognition** first to route queries to the appropriate data paths; complex queries can be processed across multiple parallel paths. ### Author's Hands-On Findings - For a task asking for "production-grade Go rate limiter code," AnySearch returned highly structured, directly usable code pathways. - In corporate due diligence comparisons, it outperformed Exa by capturing better local compliance and public disclosure info, offering a more complete risk profile. - For a global energy market report task, it successfully pulled the latest inventory, electricity price, and carbon emission data. ### Why It's Considered Agent-Friendly - Implements **homologous decay, information density arbitration, and hybrid ranking** to reduce redundant and low-value web pages. - Cleans and denoises the main text before outputting structured **Markdown**, lowering the context and token costs for Agents. - Supports timeout controls and automatic error recovery, fitting perfectly into engineering workflows. The author concludes that in the Agent era, search is shifting from "helping humans find web pages" to "providing models with a factual layer ready for direct reasoning."
