Search Web

Use this skill when the user asks to search the web, find current sources, look something up, discover URLs, or perform sovereignty-sensitive web research.

Workflow

1. Call web_search with:
   • provider: "searxng"
   • categories: "general"
   • the user's query
   • count, freshness, country, or language only when the user asks for them or they are clearly implied.
2. Return the most relevant results with title, URL, and a short snippet.
3. Use web_fetch after web_search only when the user asks for content from a result or when an answer needs page-level evidence.

Constraints

• Do not use hosted search providers for this skill unless the user explicitly asks to leave the sovereign SearXNG path.
• Do not invent citations or claim fetched-page facts from search snippets alone.
• If SearXNG is not configured, say that the self-hosted search provider is unavailable and include the tool error.
