Is my search history tracked when using this skill?

No. SearXNG is a privacy-focused metasearch engine that does not track users or store search history, and since the instance runs locally, your queries remain under your control.

What is the primary benefit of using SearXNG with Claude Code?

It provides a privacy-respecting way to search the web and package repositories, returning structured JSON that allows Claude to parse and act on search results more effectively than standard HTML pages.

Can I filter results by specific categories?

Yes, you can append category parameters to your queries to target specific data types like 'cargo' for Rust, 'repos' for code repositories, or 'scientific publications' for academic papers.

Which package managers are supported?

SearXNG supports a wide range of repositories including npm, Cargo (crates.io), RubyGems, PyPI, Hex, Packagist, and many more via the 'packages' and 'it' categories.

Do I need Docker or Podman to use this skill?

Yes, this skill uses a helper script to launch a SearXNG instance in a container to ensure a consistent, local environment for the search engine.

网络抓取与数据收集

Deploys a local, privacy-respecting metasearch engine to aggregate web, package repository, and code results in structured JSON.

关于

The SearXNG Search skill empowers AI agents with a private, containerized search instance that aggregates results from dozens of search engines and specialized repositories. By running locally via Docker or Podman, it ensures privacy while providing clean, programmatic access to general web data, Rust crates, npm packages, and GitHub repositories. It is particularly useful for developers who need to find documentation, compare library versions, or research technical implementations without leaving their terminal or being subject to tracking and ads.
