Research & Search Agent Plugins

Research & Search is the 6th-largest category in agentpluginsdirectory.com's verified index: 124 of the 5,701 distinct Agent Plugins verified on 2026-11-07, or 2% of the directory. It covers plugins that go and find things: web search and browsing, scraping and data collection, retrieval over document sets, competitive and market research, fact-checking and source verification. Of these 124, 107 ship at least one Agent Skill and 71 declare MCP servers.

The plugin's job is retrieving and synthesising information. Storing the result in a database belongs to Databases & Data. Agent Plugins 1.0.0 defines no category field, so this grouping is editorial, not read from the manifest — the verification claim covers the plugin, not the category.
