SearXNG

SearXNG is a self-hosted search aggregator that queries Google, Bing, Brave, Startpage, DuckDuckGo, and Wikipedia simultaneously. No API keys required. Results returned as JSON.

Quick start (already installed)

python3 scripts/search.py "your query"             # human-readable
python3 scripts/search.py "your query" --json      # JSON (for parsing)
python3 scripts/search.py "query" --count 5 --json # limit + JSON

Place search.py anywhere convenient — typically tools/search.py in the workspace.

For detailed usage patterns and service management: see references/usage.md.
