# Google Search (WSL Chrome) Perform Google searches through Chrome browser in WSL. ## Prerequisites - `google-chrome-stable` or `google-chrome` installed in WSL - WSLg available (or X11 forwarding configured) - OpenClaw browser tool enabled ## Quick Start ### 1. Launch Chrome Run the startup script: ```bash bash ~/.openclaw/scripts/google-search-chrome.sh ``` Or start manually: ```bash export DISPLAY=:0 google-chrome-stable --remote-debugging-port=9222 \ --remote-allow-origins='*' \ --user-data-dir="$HOME/.openclaw/chrome-debug-profile" \ --lang=zh-CN \ --disable-gpu \ --disable-dev-shm-usage & ``` ### 2. Verify Chrome is Running ```bash curl -s http://127.0.0.1:9222/json/version ``` Should return Chrome version information. ### 3. Search Using Browser Tool ``` browser action=open url="https://www.google.com/search?q=your+search+term" profile=user browser action=snapshot targetId=<returned-targetId> ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Chrome Won't Start (Missing X server) Ensure WSLg is available, or set the `DISPLAY` environment variable: ```bash export DISPLAY=:0 # Or check WSLg ls /mnt/wslg/.X11-unix/ ``` ### Port 9222 Already in Use Check and kill the occupying process: ```bash lsof -i :9222 kill <PID> ``` ### Empty Search Results - Check network connection - Try using a proxy (if `HTTP_PROXY` is configured) - Wait for the page to fully load before taking a snapshot ## Tips - Chinese keywords in search URLs will be automatically encoded - Use `snapshot` to get page content, then extract the needed information - For news search, use the `tbm=nws` parameter: `/search?q=keyword&tbm=nws`
