TinySearch is a self-hosted, lightweight web research tool for local LLMs using BM25 and local ONNX embeddings.
Key Updates:
- Bring-Your-Own-Browser (BYOB): Connect via CDP to your own browser (profile/proxy/cookies) to bypass anti-scraping.
- Tool Split: Separated search (fast/cheap) from scrapeurls.
- Concurrent Scraping: Handles 1-5 URLs at once.
- MCP Optimization: Responses now in XML format.
Benchmark: Reduced webpage tokens by 64% (146,878 → 53,426) across 8 research queries.
