SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the need to find up-to-date public information and sources by searching the web through a self-hosted SearXNG instance you control.

Core Features & Use Cases

SearXNG web discovery: Performs query-based public web search to locate relevant pages, sources, and URLs.
Freshness-aware retrieval: Supports user-driven controls like freshness, language, and country when implied or requested.
Sovereignty guardrails: Avoids hosted search providers unless the user explicitly requests leaving the self-hosted path, and helps prevent unsupported claims from snippets.

Quick Start

Ask: "Search the web for the latest information on renewable diesel regulatory updates in the EU, and return the best sources with titles, URLs, and short snippets."

FAQPage Schema

How do I find current public web search results using a self-hosted instance?▼

Web search via a configured SearXNG instance retrieves current public results and source URLs. It queries the general category by default and returns titles, URLs, and snippets to help you discover relevant pages.

Can I filter web search results by freshness, language, or country?▼

Yes, web search supports user-driven controls for freshness, language, and country when requested or clearly implied. Optional parameters are limited to count, freshness, country, and language to keep retrieval focused and relevant.

Does sovereign web search require using external hosted search providers?▼

No, sovereign web search avoids external hosted search providers by default unless you explicitly request leaving the self-hosted SearXNG path. This ensures information retrieval remains under your control while finding public sources.

What's the best way to verify claims found in web search snippets?▼

To verify claims from snippets, use a follow-up web fetch to retrieve page-level content from specific results. Web search returns titles, URLs, and snippets, but evidence verification requires fetching the actual page content.

When do I need source discovery instead of direct answer extraction?▼

Source discovery is needed when answers may require page-level verification or when locating relevant URLs for research. Web search provides titles, URLs, and snippets, directing you to sources rather than extracting final factual answers directly.
