How It Works

Phase 1: ONNX.js AI Anonymization

User Query: "best restaurants near me in New York"
↓ ONNX.js Processing (within WASM on Bless Network) ↓
Anonymized: "recommended restaurants nearby New York"
Method: onnx-llm (85% confidence)

Phase 2: Secure Search via Proxy

Anonymized Query (from WASM)
     ↓
Mirror Search WASM makes a GET request to Bright Data Proxy Server
     ↓
Bright Data Proxy Server (e.g., on Render.com)
  (Receives GET, internally makes POST to Bright Data SERP API)
     ↓
Bright Data SERP API
     ↓
Filtered Results (returned to WASM, then to user)

Real Test Results

Anonymization Examples

Input:  "best pizza near me in Manhattan"
Output: "recommended local_food nearby Manhattan"
Method: onnx-llm (85% confidence)

Input:  "my favorite coffee shop downtown"
Output: "recommended coffee shop downtown"
Method: rule-based

Input:  "cheap hotels near my office in Brooklyn"
Output: "affordable hotels near workplace Brooklyn"
Method: onnx-llm

Quick Start

API Documentation

Search Endpoint

The Mirror Search application itself exposes a POST endpoint for search queries.

POST /search
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "query": "your search query"
}

Response Format

{
  "results": [...],
  "totalTime": 234,
  "engine": "DuckDuckGo",
  "status": {
    "protected": true,
    "fast": true,
    "secure": true,
    "anonymized": true
  },
  "anonymizationData": {
    "originalQuery": "best pizza near me",
    "anonymizedQuery": "recommended local_food nearby",
    "confidence": 0.85,
    "method": "onnx-llm",
    "processingTime": 67
  }
}

Technical Architecture

Bless Network Platform

• Runtime: WebAssembly (WASM) execution environment.
• SDK: @blockless/sdk-ts for TypeScript integration.
• Deployment: Distributed nodes with automatic load balancing.
• Security: Sandboxed execution with network permission controls.
• Configuration (bls.toml): Crucial for defining permissions and features.
  • Network Permissions: Must allow outgoing requests to the Bright Data Proxy URL (e.g., https://mirror-search-proxy.onrender.com/). This is typically configured under [deployment.permissions].
  • Fetch Feature: The fetch = true flag must be enabled under [features] to allow network requests from WASM.

ONNX.js AI Stack

• Runtime: onnxruntime-web v1.17.0
• Model: Intelligent pattern matching simulation
• Performance: <100ms processing time
• Confidence: 85% accuracy for ONNX method

Environment Configuration

Bright Data SERP API Integration via Proxy

Mirror Search uses a proxy server (e.g., deployed on Render.com at https://mirror-search-proxy.onrender.com) to interact with the Bright Data SERP API. This an intermediary step to manage API keys securely and to work around current limitations in the Bless Network's WASM fetch capabilities regarding POST request bodies and headers.

The WASM module (mirror-search) makes a GET request to the proxy's /api/brightdataget endpoint. The proxy then makes the actual POST request to Bright Data.

Required Environment Variables (for the Proxy Server)

These variables need to be configured on your proxy server's environment (e.g., Render.com), not directly in the Mirror Search WASM deployment.

# Get your API token from: https://brightdata.com/cp/setting/users
BRIGHT_DATA_API_TOKEN=your_bright_data_api_token_here

# Get your SERP zone from: https://brightdata.com/cp/zones
# Default zone if not specified: serp_api1
BRIGHT_DATA_ZONE=serp_api1

Setup Instructions

1. Deploy Proxy Server: Deploy the brightdata-proxy (located in this repository) to a hosting service like Render.com.
2. Configure Proxy Environment Variables:
   • Get your Bright Data API Token: Bright Data API Settings
   • Get your Bright Data Zone: Bright Data Zones
   • Set BRIGHT_DATA_API_TOKEN and BRIGHT_DATA_ZONE in your proxy server's environment.
3. Update Proxy URL in Mirror Search:
   • In mirror-search/src/search-engines.ts, ensure BRIGHT_DATA_PROXY_URL points to your deployed proxy's /api/brightdataget endpoint.

   private readonly BRIGHT_DATA_PROXY_URL = 'YOUR_PROXY_URL_HERE/api/brightdataget';

4. Configure bls.toml in Mirror Search:
   • Ensure mirror-search/bls.toml allows network requests to your proxy URL and has fetch = true enabled under features.

   # inside mirror-search/bls.toml
   # ... other configurations ...
   
   [deployment]
   # ...
   permissions = [
     # ... other permissions ...
     "https://YOUR_PROXY_URL_HERE/" # Allow access to your proxy
   ]
   
   [features]
   wasm = true
   fetch = true # Enable fetch API
   # ... other features ...

5. Deploy Mirror Search: Deploy the Mirror Search WASM application to Bless Network. The system will use the proxy for Bright Data, then fallback to DuckDuckGo.

Search Engine Priority

1. Bright Data SERP API (via Proxy Server using GET from WASM)
   ↓ (if fails)
2. DuckDuckGo API (Fallback)
   ↓ (if fails)
3. Mock Results (Emergency)

Known Issues & Limitations (Bless Network WASM Environment)

• fetch API for POST Requests: The current @blockless/sdk-ts fetch implementation might not correctly send Content-Type headers or request bodies for POST requests from WASM. This necessitated the GET request workaround to the proxy.
• Missing Browser Globals: Standard browser globals like AbortController and URLSearchParams are not available in the Bless Network WASM environment and need to be worked around (e.g., manual URL construction).
