Searxng Search

This runs SearXNG locally in a container and lets you query multiple search engines through a single JSON API. It's built for programmatic access to web search and package repositories like crates.io, npm, and others, though PyPI doesn't work and needs a workaround. The included start-searxng script handles container setup automatically. Honestly most useful when you need to aggregate search results in scripts or AI workflows without hitting rate limits, since it's all running on localhost. The JSON responses are clean and include which engines contributed to each result, making it easy to filter and process.
