Install the plugin, pin Keenable as the default provider, and run a first search.

## Install

### Install and enable the plugin

```bash theme={"dark"}
hermes plugins install robbyczgw-cla/hermes-web-search-plus --enable
```

### Pin Keenable as the default provider

Run `set-default` to make every search use Keenable and turn the plugin's auto-routing off. After this both the `web_search_plus` agent tool and the standalone `search.py` (with no `--provider` flag) route through Keenable.

```bash theme={"dark"}
python3 ~/.hermes/plugins/web-search-plus/setup.py config set-default keenable
```

### Authenticate

```bash theme={"dark"}
export KEENABLE_API_KEY=keen_...
```

Verify the pin with `setup.py config show` → default provider: keenable.

<Note>
  Set `KEENABLE_API_KEY` to authenticate — this removes the hourly request cap. To run without a key you also have to opt into the plugin's public-tier flag, which is off by default: `KEENABLE_ALLOW_PUBLIC=1` (or `keenable.allow_public: true` in `config.json`). That path runs on the shared public tier at [lower rate limits](/rate-limits).
