# SearXNG Search Skill

This skill provides web search capabilities using a locally hosted SearXNG instance.

## Configuration

The skill connects to your local SearXNG instance at `http://10.0.0.8:8888/` by default.

## Usage

Use the `searx_search` tool to perform web searches:

```javascript
// Basic search
await searx_search({ query: "latest AI developments" });

// Search with more results
await searx_search({ query: "quantum computing", count: 10 });

// Search with language preference
await searx_search({ query: "bonjour", lang: "fr" });
```

## Tool: searx_search

- `query` (required): The search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results to return (1-20, default: 5)
- `lang` (optional): Language code for search results (e.g., "en", "de", "fr")
- `safesearch` (optional): Safe search filter (0=off, 1=moderate, 2=strict, default: 0)

## Example Results

Results are returned in a structured format with title, URL, content snippet, and source engine information.
