Kestrel Search brings live, keyless web research to coding assistants. It searches DuckDuckGo, Bing, or Yahoo, retrieves result pages concurrently, extracts their readable content, and re-ranks the results with BM25—all without taking you out of your coding workflow.
Install it once and let your assistant discover the generated `SKILL.md`, or use the pipe-friendly CLI directly. Kestrel can fan out multiple queries across engines or use them as an ordered fallback chain. Results go to stdout and progress goes to stderr, keeping both terminal and JSON workflows clean.
**Note** Kestrel Search is an independent project and is not
