Web Search By Searxng
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This appears to be a straightforward SearXNG web-search helper; the main thing to know is that search queries are sent to the configured search instance.
This skill is reasonable to install if you are comfortable sending search queries to your chosen SearXNG instance. Prefer a trusted or self-hosted HTTPS instance, do not search for secrets, and review the included Python script/dependency needs if you plan to run it locally.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Search terms, categories, engines, and related parameters may be visible to the selected SearXNG instance and potentially to upstream search engines.
The user's search query is sent over the network to the configured SearXNG instance. This is expected for a search skill, but it is still an external data flow users should understand.
params = {"q": query, "format": format_type, "pageno": pageno}; response = requests.get(search_url, params=params, timeout=timeout)Use a trusted or self-hosted SearXNG instance, prefer HTTPS URLs, and avoid putting secrets or highly sensitive information in search queries.
Users have less context about the skill's origin and dependency/setup expectations.
The package has limited provenance and install metadata. The included code is readable and purpose-aligned, so this is a transparency note rather than a security concern.

Review the included script before use and ensure any local Python dependencies are installed from trusted sources.
