SearXNG Self-Hosted Search

Search the web using a self-hosted SearXNG instance. Privacy-respecting metasearch that aggregates results from multiple engines.

This skill is an instruction-only guide for running and querying a self-hosted SearXNG instance and appears coherent. Before following it, ensure you: (1) have Docker and docker compose installed and are comfortable with pulling images from Docker Hub; (2) secure the instance if you don't want it exposed — binding to 0.0.0.0:8080 exposes the service network-wide, so consider binding to localhost or putting it behind a reverse proxy/firewall and use a strong server.secret_key; (3) install required CLI tools referenced (curl, jq, sed) since the skill examples and shell function assume them even though the registry metadata doesn't list required binaries; (4) review and customize settings.yml (do not leave secret_key as "change-me-to-random-string"); and (5) be aware that this skill is only documentation — it will not install or run anything for you automatically and does not request any credentials from the agent platform.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: searxng-self-hosted Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is benign, providing instructions for setting up and interacting with a self-hosted SearXNG instance. All commands, primarily `curl` and `docker compose` examples in `SKILL.md`, are directly related to the stated purpose of searching via SearXNG and managing its local Docker container. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, persistence mechanisms, obfuscation, or prompt injection attempts against the OpenClaw agent. The `SEARXNG_URL` environment variable is an optional configuration for the skill, defaulting to localhost.
