ask-search

Web search powered by SearxNG. Aggregates multiple search engines, zero API key, full privacy.

Usage

ask-search "your query"                    # top 10 results
ask-search "query" --num 5                 # limit results
ask-search "AI news" --categories news     # news only
ask-search "query" --lang zh-CN            # Chinese results
ask-search "query" --urls-only             # URL list (pipe to web_fetch)
ask-search "query" --json                  # raw JSON

Agent Workflow

Run ask-search "topic" to get candidates
Check snippet — if enough, answer directly
If snippet truncated, use web_fetch on the URL for full content

Parameters

Flag	Short	Description
`--num N`	`-n`	Max results (default 10)
`--engines`	`-e`	google,bing,duckduckgo,brave
`--lang`	`-l`	zh-CN, en, ja, ko
`--categories`	`-c`	general,news,images,science
`--json`	`-j`	Raw JSON output
`--urls-only`	`-u`	URLs only

Setup

Requires SearxNG running locally. Set SEARXNG_URL if not on default port 8080.

Trustgrade A

passBody integrity
Whether the stored document is plausibly the kind of file the artifact declares, rather than something fetched by mistake.
passType matchnot applicable to this artifact type
Whether the artifact is really the kind of thing its metadata claims it is.
passFreshness
How long since the source repository was last pushed to.
passPrompt injection
Scans the artifact's own text for instructions aimed at your agent rather than at you.
passLicense
Whether the source repository declares an SPDX license permissive enough to redistribute.

How the grade is calculated

Each check contributes 0 points when it passes, 1 when it warns, and 2 when it fails. The total maps to a letter:

Aevery check passed
Bone warning
Ctwo warnings
Dprompt injection or body integrity failed, or three warnings
Fone of those failed, and something else is wrong

These are automated hygiene checks, not a security audit, and not a dependency or vulnerability scan. A grade of A means nothing was flagged — not that the artifact is safe.
