SearXNG Search Skill

Search using the self-hosted SearXNG instance on dungeon via the searxngr CLI.

How to search

# Basic search
searxngr "your search query"

# Search with specific category
searxngr -c social+media "topic"

# JSON output (best for programmatic use)
searxngr --json "search query"

# More results
searxngr -n 20 "search query"

Reddit workflow

This is the primary use case. To find and read Reddit discussions:

Find threads — search with site restriction:

searxngr --json -w reddit.com "topic" | jq -r '.[] | "\(.title)\n  \(.url)\n"'

Read the thread — append .json to any Reddit URL and fetch it:

# Take a URL like https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/abc123/title/
# Fetch the JSON to get post body + all comments:
curl -s -H "User-Agent: searxngr-skill" "https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/abc123/title/.json" | jq '.[1].data.children[].data | {author, body}' | head -80

Or use WebFetch on the old.reddit.com URL for a simpler text view.

When to use this skill

Researching Reddit discussions or opinions on a topic
Finding technical solutions people have shared online
Searching without corporate tracking
Any web search where the built-in WebSearch could also work — prefer this for privacy

Configuration

Config file: ~/.config/searxngr/config.ini (managed by stow from ~/Git/toolbox/dot/searxngr-config/)
SearXNG URL: https://searxng.grehg2.xyz (dungeon instance via Tailscale)
INI section: must be [searxngr] (not [default])

Setup

Installed automatically on all hosts via nix-darwin/NixOS activation. For manual setup:

~/Git/toolbox/bin/setup-searxngr.sh

Troubleshooting

"command not found": Run ~/Git/toolbox/bin/setup-searxngr.sh
Connection timeout: Check Tailscale is connected (ping 100.103.22.125)
"No SearXNG instance URL set": Config file missing or has wrong section name. Re-stow: cd ~/Git/toolbox/dot && stow -t $HOME searxngr-config
