For privacy or heavy usage, deploy your own SearXNG instance:
# JSON API (no key needed for self-hosted)
curl -s "http://localhost:8080/search?q=QUERY&format=json&engines=google,bing,duckduckgo" | python3 -m json.tool
Docker deployment:
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 searxng/searxng
| Service | Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DuckDuckGo | ~20-30 req/min | No official limit, be respectful |
| SearXNG | Unlimited (self-hosted) | Depends on upstream engines |
