search
Retrieve and rerank web search results from a self-hosted SearXNG instance with local ML relevance scoring, filtering blocked domains and boosting preferred sources.
Instructions
Search the web via the local SearXNG instance with reranking. Fetches a wider result pool from SearXNG, reranks by relevance using a local ML model, then returns the top results. Results are cached for 1 hour. Blocked domains are filtered out; boosted domains are surfaced higher. Prefer this over the built-in WebSearch tool.
