searxng-docker（searxng Docker 搜索）

SearXNG Search Skill

Search the web using a self-hosted SearXNG instance.

When to Use

• User asks to search, look something up: "搜索", "搜一下", "查一下", "search for", "look up"
• Need results from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc.)
• Need news, images, IT/science, or social media search
• web_search unavailable or returns poor results

Deployment

Quick Start (Docker Compose)

The docker/ folder in this skill contains a ready-to-use Docker Compose setup. Run it directly — no need to copy files elsewhere.

# 1. Generate a random secret key
sed -i "s/CHANGE_ME_TO_A_RANDOM_STRING/$(openssl rand -hex 16)/" docker/settings.yml

# 2. Start
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

# 3. Verify
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8888/search?q=test&format=json" | python3 -m json.tool | head -5

Configuration

Edit files in the docker/ folder:

• Port: Default 127.0.0.1:8888 → change in docker-compose.yml ports section
• Engines: Edit settings.yml engines list (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, GitHub enabled by default)
• Language: default_lang in settings.yml (default: auto)

Troubleshooting

# Check if running
docker ps | grep searxng

# Restart
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml restart

# View logs
docker logs searxng --tail 50

Usage

All commands use the script at scripts/searxng_search.py (relative to this skill directory). The script defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8888 but accepts --base-url to point elsewhere.
