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 โ€” typically tools/search.py in the workspace. For detailed usage patterns and service management: see references/usage.md.

Installation (new instance)

Run as root on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04: bash scripts/install_searxng.sh This installs SearXNG, creates a searxng system user, writes /etc/searxng/settings.yml, and starts a systemd service on http://127.0.0.1:8888. Verify: curl 'http://127.0.0.1:8888/search?q=test&format=json' | python3 -m json.tool | head -20 systemctl status searxng

Connecting search.py to the instance

search.py targets http://127.0.0.1:8888 by default. If the port differs, update SEARXNG_URL at the top of the script.

Fallback

If SearXNG is down, search.py falls back to Wikipedia + GitHub APIs automatically. No action needed โ€” results still return, just from narrower sources.

Troubleshooting

SymptomFix[SearXNG unavailable] in stderrsystemctl restart searxngPort conflict on 8888Change port: in /etc/searxng/settings.yml + update SEARXNG_URL in scriptEmpty results from all enginesCheck /etc/searxng/settings.yml engines block; restart serviceConnection refusedService not running โ€” systemctl start searxng
