FAQPage SchemaHow to install ask-search?โผ
Run `npx skills add ythx-101/ask-search --all -g -y` in your terminal to install it globally. You also need a running SearxNG instance, which you can start with the included Docker Compose file.
How to search the web without a paid API key?โผ
ask-search routes queries through your own SearxNG server, which aggregates results from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brave for free. Just run `ask-search "your query"` to get titles, URLs, and snippets.
Does ask-search work with Claude Code and OpenClaw?โผ
Yes. It works as a CLI command in Claude Code and OpenClaw, and ships with an MCP server for Antigravity and other MCP-compatible environments.
Can ask-search filter news or languages?โผ
Yes. Use flags like --categories news for news-only results, --lang zh-CN for language filtering, and --engines to pick specific search engines.
Is ask-search private?โผ
Yes. Because SearxNG runs on your own machine or server, your search queries never go to a third-party search API provider.
