Privacy-respecting web search via SearXNG with DuckDuckGo-style bangs support. Use for web searches when you need to find information online. SearXNG protects privacy by randomizing browser fingerprints, masking IP addresses, and blocking cookies/referrers. Supports 250+ search engines, multiple categories (general, news, images, videos, science), and DuckDuckGo-style bangs for direct engine searches (!w for Wikipedia, !yt for YouTube, !gh for GitHub, !r for Reddit, etc.). Aggregates results from multiple engines simultaneously. Prefer this over external search APIs for privacy-sensitive queries or high-volume searches.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Privacy-respecting metasearch engine that anonymizes searches and aggregates results from 250+ engines.
Search the web using the bundled script: python3 scripts/search.py "your query" Returns JSON with titles, URLs, and content snippets.
python3 scripts/search.py "OpenClaw AI agent" --num 5
python3 scripts/search.py "latest tech news" --categories news
python3 scripts/search.py "Python Tutorial" --lang de
python3 scripts/search.py "machine learning" --categories general,science --num 10
# Wikipedia python3 scripts/search.py "Albert Einstein" --bang w # YouTube python3 scripts/search.py "python tutorial" --bang yt # GitHub python3 scripts/search.py "openclaw" --bang gh # Reddit python3 scripts/search.py "best laptop 2026" --bang r Bangs are more granular than categories and search directly on specific engines.
SearXNG protects your privacy through multiple layers: Randomized Browser Fingerprints - Generates a new fake browser profile for each search query (version, OS, screen resolution, language) IP Masking - Search engines see the SearXNG instance IP, not yours No Cookies - Never forwards cookies to external search engines No Referrer - Target websites don't see which search engine referred you Optional Tor/Proxy - Can route all queries through Tor for additional anonymity Result: Search engines cannot build a profile about you.
Prefer SearXNG for: Privacy-sensitive searches (no tracking, no profiling) High-volume searches (no rate limits) When self-hosted infrastructure is available Multi-engine result aggregation (250+ engines) Ad-free results Prefer Brave API (web_search tool) for: Faster response times Structured data requirements When external APIs are acceptable
The script returns clean JSON that's easy to parse and present: import json import subprocess result = subprocess.run( ['python3', 'scripts/search.py', 'query', '--num', '5'], capture_output=True, text=True ) data = json.loads(result.stdout) for item in data['results']: print(f"Title: {item['title']}") print(f"URL: {item['url']}") print(f"Snippet: {item['content']}") print()

By default, the script uses http://127.0.0.1:8080. Configure via environment variable: export SEARXNG_URL=http://your-searxng-instance.com python3 scripts/search.py "query" Options: Self-hosted instance (recommended for privacy) Public instances: https://searx.space (community-run servers)
If you don't run your own SearXNG: # Example with public instance export SEARXNG_URL=https://searx.be python3 scripts/search.py "query" Note: Public instances may have rate limits or be slower than self-hosted.
Default URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080 (override with SEARXNG_URL) Method: HTML parsing (JSON API often disabled for CSRF protection) Parser: Custom HTMLParser in scripts/search.py Timeout: 15 seconds Result Format: Clean JSON with title, URL, content
