zenobi-us SearXNG Web Search
Use the local instance. It serves HTML results; JSON, CSV, and RSS currently return HTTP 403.
Search
query='search terms'
SEARXNG_URL="${SEARXNG_URL:-http://search.gameserver.lan}"
curl --fail --silent --show-error --location --get "$SEARXNG_URL/search" \
--data-urlencode "q=$query" \
| lynx -stdin -dump
Use --data-urlencode for every user-provided value. Add supported filters only when needed:
--data-urlencode 'categories=general,it' \
--data-urlencode 'language=en' \
--data-urlencode 'pageno=2' \
--data-urlencode 'time_range=month' \
--data-urlencode 'safesearch=1'
Valid time_range: day, month, year. Valid safesearch: 0, 1, 2.
Rules
- MUST omit
format; configured structured formats return 403. - MUST report curl or DNS failures instead of silently switching to a public search engine.
- SHOULD use
SEARXNG_URLoverride when set. - MAY add
-nolistonly when result link references are unnecessary.
