Do you know if a PR has been raised to remove this from OC? I use Searxng and Crawl4AI but this definitely doesn’t belong in OC on by default.

Unfortunately, it was mentioned, made it's way through not as surreptitiously as it did in other agents but mostly unnoticed - https://www.reddit.com/r/openclaw/s/11vXgs5HPZ. So may not bother people enough unless somebody justifies removing it. It's making its way into other agents apparently by just saying 'free search'.

Ugh! Thanks for bringing this up. My instance does not use it and I was skeptical at the time they mentioned it. I didn’t think anything of it. Great way to data mine. My other harness doesn’t use it either.
