## 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. 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.

## Documentation

### SearXNG Web Search

Search the web using a self-hosted SearXNG instance. This skill provides access to web search results through the SearXNG JSON API, with built-in rate limiting, error handling, and result formatting.

### When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

Find current information or recent news
Research topics beyond your knowledge cutoff
Look up documentation or technical references
Verify facts or check current status
Find URLs or resources on specific topics
Search for code examples or solutions

### Configuration

Set the SEARXNG_URL environment variable to your SearXNG instance:

export SEARXNG_URL="http://localhost:8888"

Or use the default (http://localhost:8888) if not set.

### Usage

Execute the search script with your query:

bb scripts/search.clj "your search query"

### Advanced Options

Pass additional parameters as JSON:

bb scripts/search.clj "your query" '{"category": "news", "time_range": "day", "num_results": 10}'

Available options:

category - Filter by category: general, news, images, videos, it, science
time_range - Time filter: day, week, month, year
language - Language code (default: en)
num_results - Number of results to return (default: 5)

### Output Format

The script returns formatted search results as text:

Search Results for "your query"
Found 42 total results

1. Result Title [Score: 1.85]
   URL: https://example.com/page
   Description snippet from the page...
   Engines: google, bing

2. Another Result [Score: 1.62]
   ...

### Error Handling

The script handles common errors gracefully:

Network timeouts (30s timeout)
SearXNG unavailable (clear error message)
Invalid queries (error details)
Rate limiting (429 responses)
Empty results (informative message)

### Rate Limiting

The script implements basic rate limiting:

Minimum 1 second between requests
Uses filesystem-based state (.searxng-last-request)
Prevents accidental spam

### Basic Search

bb scripts/search.clj "NixOS configuration"

### News Search

bb scripts/search.clj "AI developments" '{"category": "news", "time_range": "week"}'

### Technical Search

bb scripts/search.clj "babashka http client" '{"category": "it", "num_results": 3}'

### Recent Results Only

bb scripts/search.clj "product launch" '{"time_range": "day"}'

### Troubleshooting

"SEARXNG_URL not set"

Set the environment variable: export SEARXNG_URL="http://localhost:8888"

Connection timeout

Check that SearXNG is running: curl $SEARXNG_URL/search?q=test&format=json
Verify firewall settings
Check service status: systemctl status searx

Empty results

Try a broader query
Remove filters and try again
Check SearXNG logs: journalctl -u searx -n 50

Rate limit errors

Wait a few seconds between searches
The script enforces minimum 1s delay automatically

### Implementation Notes

The search script (scripts/search.clj) uses:

babashka.http-client for HTTP requests
Clojure's cheshire.core for JSON parsing
Filesystem-based rate limiting
30-second timeout with proper error messages
Result scoring and sorting for best results first
