Searxng Search

SearXNG Local Search

Use the local SearXNG instance at http://localhost:8080 as the primary web search tool.

Triggers

Activate this skill when the user asks to:

• Search the web
• Look up documentation
• Find information online
• Use SearXNG
• Perform a local web search

Rules

1. Primary search tool — Always try SearXNG first for web search.
2. Default endpoint — Use http://localhost:8080 unless the user specifies another SearXNG endpoint.
3. Auto-start if down — If SearXNG is not running, attempt to start the existing Docker container named Searxng_my_eyeballs (image: searxng/searxng:latest). If the container name changes, update the script or ask the user.
4. Fallback — If SearXNG cannot be reached or started, fall back to other available search tools/APIs and tell the user.
5. Format results — Summarize the top results concisely with titles, URLs, and relevant snippets.

Usage

Basic search

curl -s "http://localhost:8080/search?q=QUERY&format=json" | jq '.results[:5] | {title, url, content}'

Search with category

curl -s "http://localhost:8080/search?q=QUERY&category_general=on&format=json" | jq '.results[:5]'

Start SearXNG container if not running

docker start Searxng_my_eyeballs

Check if SearXNG is running

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8080

Response Format

When returning search results, present them as a markdown list:

• Title — Snippet or summary.
• Title — Snippet or summary.

If no useful results are found, say so explicitly.
