FAQPage Schema
How do I search multiple engines without an API key?▼

What is SearXNG meta-search and how does it aggregate results?▼

SearXNG meta-search is a platform that aggregates search results by querying over 70 different search engines simultaneously, providing a unified set of results without needing individual API keys.

How do I configure a self-hosted SearXNG instance for search aggregation?▼

To configure search aggregation, set the 'SEARXNG_URL' environment variable to point to your self-hosted or public SearXNG instance URL before executing the search task.

Does SearXNG search support a fallback when the engine is unavailable?▼

Yes, SearXNG search includes a fallback mechanism that automatically switches to other search options when the primary SearXNG engine or web search toolset is unavailable.

Can I use a public SearXNG instance instead of self-hosting?▼

Yes, you can use a public SearXNG instance by setting the 'SEARXNG_URL' environment variable to the public URL, avoiding the need to self-host your own search aggregation engine.

Why does my SearXNG meta-search fail to return results?▼

SearXNG meta-search may fail if the 'SEARXNG_URL' environment variable is not configured correctly or if the instance is down, though the built-in fallback mechanism will attempt to use alternative search options.
