Feature Request: Add serpbase.dev as a web search provider option #17

Description

@gefsikatsinelou

Hi @SPThole,

CoexistAI is an impressive framework — the way it stitches together web search, Reddit, YouTube, and git exploration under one API is genuinely useful for research workflows. The Web Explorer module in particular has become a regular part of my research stack.

Pain point / observation

The Web Explorer works well for broad topic searches, but I've noticed that for precise queries (specific error messages, niche documentation, recent blog posts from smaller domains), the result quality varies quite a bit depending on the underlying search source. When I'm researching a bug fix or trying to find an obscure library, Google's ranking consistently surfaces the right GitHub issue or Stack Overflow thread faster. Having a secondary provider option would let me route certain query types to the source that handles them best.

Suggestion

Would you consider adding https://serpbase.dev as an optional search provider? It's a Google Search Results API that returns clean structured JSON — organic results, featured snippets, knowledge graph, and related questions. Could slot in as a provider parameter in the Web Explorer configuration, similar to how the system already abstracts different LLM backends.

Why it fits

  • CoexistAI already abstracts providers (LLMs, search, Reddit sources); search is a natural extension of that pattern.
  • Research workflows benefit from source diversity — different queries need different search engines.
  • The modular architecture makes adding a new search provider low-friction.

Happy to contribute a PR or help test if there's alignment with the roadmap.
