Search, sort & filter DSH plugins in DeepSeek Harness

Find any DSH plugin in the DeepSeek Harness plugin center with three moves: type keywords in the search box for instant filtering, toggle the sort buttons (Name / Recent / Stars / Forks) for ascending or descending order, and filter by Installed or Not installed — all three conditions stack, so you can lock onto your target in seconds and click Install. All three live on the same toolbar of the DSH Plugin Hub plugin market; this guide walks through each move step by step.

Overview: the three moves in one table

Search, sort and filter are the three tool groups on the plugin market toolbar — they complement each other and stack freely. At a glance (source):

Use all three at once: search first, then sort, then filter — the conditions do not conflict.

The search box: two keyword tactics

Search is a real-time match over name, description, topics and similar fields — the words you type decide what you hit. Enter the market via Settings → Plugin Center, then pick a tactic:

Tactic 1: search by plugin name (when you remember the name)

When you know the name, search it directly — the most precise approach. Steps:

1. Click the search box at the top;
2. Type the plugin name (e.g. memory, deepseek-balance);
3. Watch the list update as you type; the result count shows the current hits;
4. Click Install on the target plugin's card.

Fallback: a full name can be too long to hit — try part of the name instead; if a Chinese name fails, search the English name (the catalog is primarily English).

Tactic 2: search by category or feature word (when you only know the purpose)

Do not remember the name? Search the purpose — category names and feature words both hit. Steps:

1. Type a category name (e.g. search, translate) or a feature word (e.g. proxy) into the search box;
2. Judge the results by the description and topic tags on each card;
3. Click Open details for the full intro and install command.

Fallback: if one word returns too many hits, add a second word to narrow down (e.g. "memory search"); if it is still noisy, switch to the sort-and-filter combo. Clear the box to restore the full list.

Category filters: installed or not installed

The three category buttons (All / Installed / Not installed) slice the list by install state, and the number on each button is the count for that filter. Two uses:

Use 1: click Not installed to see only what you lack

The most frequent move when hunting new plugins — it skips everything you already have. Steps:

1. Open the plugin market (Settings → Plugin Center);
2. Click Not installed in the category filters;
3. The list now shows only plugins missing from your environment; the number on the button is the count;
4. Pick a target and click Install.

Use 2: click Installed to review what you have

Useful for confirming whether a plugin is installed and which version. Steps:

1. Click Installed in the category filters;
2. The list shows every plugin installed in your environment;
3. An Update badge means a newer version exists — click it to update right away.

Fallback: if the current filter has no results after switching category, it falls back to All automatically, so you never get stuck on an empty list.

Sort buttons: by time, popularity and name

The sort button group controls list order: Name / Recent / Stars / Forks, and clicking the same button toggles ascending/descending. Three sorting goals:

1. By popularity: click Stars to sort by star count with the most popular first — great for hot plugins; click Stars again to go lowest-to-highest;
2. By time: click Recent to sort by update time, newest listings first — great for fresh plugins;
3. By name: click Name to sort alphabetically for quick location when you know the name; Forks sorts by fork count as a measure of community activity.

To find "recently hot" plugins, click Recent to see new listings, then Stars for popularity — cross-check both dimensions.

A fast combination routine

Bottom line: search a feature word first, sort by Stars for popularity, then use Not installed to skip what you already have. When filters, search and sort stack, the list is filtered by keyword, ordered by the sort condition, then split by install state. Three scenarios:

1. Find hot plugins: clear the box → click Stars → pick ones with the verified badge;
2. Find new plugins: click Recent → check new listings → open details to verify the description;
3. Find an alternative for a feature: search the feature word → click Not installed → sort by Stars and pick one.

If the search still misses, do not give up — the plugin may simply not be in the catalog. Confirm its status on the DSH Plugin Hub detail page, or use Custom install to add it directly by npm/GitHub address.

Troubleshooting common issues

Cannot find it? Change the keyword first, then the sort, then the filter — three moves in order. Common issues:

Quick recap

In short: type in the search box to filter, use the sort buttons for order, filter by installed state — stack the three and lock on in seconds. Four reminders:

1. Search by purpose first: when you forget the name, search the feature word — it hits more often than a full name;
2. Not installed is your friend: always start with it when hunting new plugins to avoid repeats;
3. Cross-check Stars with Recent: one shows popularity, the other recency — judge on both;
4. Switch channels when stuck: confirm catalog coverage, or use Custom install with an address.
