# Send Privacy-first web search with DuckDuckGo-style bangs (!w, !yt, !gh) to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### SearXNG Search

Privacy-respecting metasearch engine that anonymizes searches and aggregates results from 250+ engines.

### Quick Start

Search the web using the bundled script:

python3 scripts/search.py "your query"

Returns JSON with titles, URLs, and content snippets.

### Basic Web Search

python3 scripts/search.py "OpenClaw AI agent" --num 5

### News Search

python3 scripts/search.py "latest tech news" --categories news

### Localized Search

python3 scripts/search.py "Python Tutorial" --lang de

### Multi-Category Search

python3 scripts/search.py "machine learning" --categories general,science --num 10

### Bang Searches (Direct Engine)

# 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.

### Privacy Features

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.

### When to Use

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

### Processing Results

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()

### Advanced Options

See references/api.md for:

All available categories
Engine-specific searches
Language codes
Error handling
Comparison with Brave Search API

### SearXNG Instance

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)

### Using Public Instances

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.

### Technical Details

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
