web-search

name	web-search
description	Search the web using the cluster SearXNG metasearch engine. Use when you need to find current information, research topics, or verify facts. Aggregates Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and more.

Web Search (SearXNG)

Search the web via the self-hosted SearXNG metasearch engine. No API keys needed — it aggregates multiple search engines with no rate limits.

Quick Reference

# Basic search (returns top 5)
bash scripts/search.sh "your query here"

# With result count
bash scripts/search.sh "your query here" 10

Direct API Usage

curl -s "http://searxng.selfhosted.svc.cluster.local:8080/search?q=QUERY&format=json" \
  | grep -o '"title":"[^"]*"\|"url":"[^"]*"\|"content":"[^"]*"'

Tips

• Use specific, targeted queries — SearXNG ranks by relevance across engines
• Add site:github.com or site:reddit.com for source-specific results
• Results include title, URL, and content snippet
• No jq available — use grep/sed/cut for JSON parsing

Scripts

See scripts/search.sh for implementation.
