SearXNG Search Skill

Prerequisites: Run bash skills/searxng/scripts/setup.sh to auto-install and start SearXNG (Docker-based, idempotent — safe to re-run).

Searching

Query the local SearXNG instance via curl (preferred — WebFetch blocks localhost):

curl -s "http://localhost:8888/search?q=YOUR+QUERY&format=json"

Common variations:

# Target specific engines (reduces noise)
curl -s "http://localhost:8888/search?q=react+hooks&engines=google,bing&format=json"
