uv run {baseDir}/scripts/searxng.py "TypeScript tutorials"
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/searxng.py "AI news" --categories news --time-range week
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/searxng.py "space photos" --categories images
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/searxng.py "docker tutorial" --no-cache --full-content
uv run {baseDir}/scripts/searxng.py "query" --instance https://my-searxng.com

βš™οΈ Configuration

Edit skill-config.json to set your SearXNG instance:

{
  "default_instance": "https://your-searxng-instance.com/",
  "cache_enabled": true,
  "cache_expiry": 3600,
  "rate_limit": 2.0
}

πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

  • Connection refused: Check skill-config.json β€” verify default_instance URL is correct and SearXNG is running.
  • Empty results: Try a broader query or different category.
  • Slow responses: Remove --full-content or increase rate_limit in config.
  • uv not installed: Install with brew install uv or see https://docs.astral.sh/uv/.
