# SearXNG — Privacy-Respecting Web Search SearXNG is a self-hosted metasearch engine that aggregates results from 70+ search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.) without tracking or profiling. It provides a JSON API that works well for agent research loops. ## Usage Posture When using SearXNG for research: - **Start with a focused query.** Narrow beats broad. `"rust async runtime comparison 2026"` beats `"rust async"`. - **Fetch 5–10 results per query.** More than 10 rarely adds signal. Use `jq '.results[:5]'` or `[:10]`. - **Use categories to cut noise.** `categories=it` for tech, `categories=news` for recency, `categories=science` for academic sources. - **Use `time_range` for freshness.** `time_range=week` or `time_range=month` when recency matters. Omit it for evergreen topics. - **Paginate only when the first page is promising but incomplete.** Add `pageno=2` if you see relevant results but need more. - **Handle zero or poor results by reformulating.** Try synonyms, drop qualifiers, or switch categories before concluding nothing exists. - **Combine multiple targeted searches over one broad search.** Two precise queries (`"SearXNG docker setup"` + `"SearXNG JSON API"`) beat one vague query (`"SearXNG"`). ## Installation ### Docker (recommended) ```bash docker run -d \ --name searxng \ --restart always \ -p 8888:8080 \ searxng/searxng:latest ``` This runs SearXNG on `http://localhost:8888`. The `--restart always` flag ensures
