README

qsearch

I built this for my own daily research. After running 100+ research sprints, my agent kept hallucinating because it read 200-char snippets. qsearch gives it full content with multi-engine provenance — running locally, owned by me.

AI agents lose **17–33% of facts to hallucination** because they read 200-character snippets, not full pages ([Stanford 2024](https://dho.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/Legal_RAG_Hallucinations.pdf)). Existing search APIs hide *which engines agreed* on a result. Existing knowledge graphs are enterprise-priced or vendor-locked.

**qsearch is the open-source search layer that gives agents full content with multi-engine provenance** — running on your machine, owned by you, ready for MCP today.

✅ **v0.4.0 live at [qsearch.pro](https://qsearch.pro).** Multi-engine attribution, trust corpus with per-URL provenance (`engines[]`, `sweep_count`, `trust_score`), corpus viewer at `/ui`, MCP-over-HTTP for Claude Code and any spec-compliant client. 📖 **Architecture:** [ARCHITECTURE.md](./ARCHITECTURE.md) · **Vision:** [docs/VISION.md](./docs/VISION.md) · **Technical spec:** [docs/TRUST_MESH.md](./docs/TRUST_MESH.md) · **Federation deep-dive:** [docs/FEDERATION_ARCHITECTURE.md](./docs/FEDERATION_ARCHITECTURE.md)
