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.
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 — typically tools/search.py in the workspace.
For detailed usage patterns and service management: see references/usage.md.
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
search.py targets http://127.0.0.1:8888 by default. If the port differs, update SEARXNG_URL at the top of the script.
If SearXNG is down, search.py falls back to Wikipedia + GitHub APIs automatically. No action needed — results still return, just from narrower sources.
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| --------- | ----- |
[SearXNG unavailable] in stderr | systemctl restart searxng |
| Port conflict on 8888 | Change port: in /etc/searxng/settings.yml + update SEARXNG_URL in script |
| Empty results from all engines | Check /etc/searxng/settings.yml engines block; restart service |
| Connection refused | Service not running — systemctl start searxng |
