SearX Search Skill

Overview

Search the web via a free SearX instance. Use when a user requests "search ...", "最新 AI 新闻", or "全球大事". The skill returns plain text results without HTML.

Execution

The scripts/search_searx.sh script takes a search query as its argument and performs the steps:

  1. Download the JSON list of public instances from https://searx.space/data/instances.json.
  2. Extract up to three reachable instance URLs.
  3. For each instance (max 3 attempts):
    • Send a GET request to <instance>/search?q=<query>&format=json.
    • If the HTTP status is 200 and a non‑empty result is returned, output the titles and URLs of the first 5 results, one per line, then exit successfully.
    • If the request fails, continue with the next instance.
  4. If all attempts fail, output 搜索失败，请稍后重试。.

The script prints only plain text, suitable for direct user consumption.

Usage

./scripts/search_searx.sh "最新 AI 新闻"

Will output something like:

Title 1 - https://example.com/...
Title 2 - https://example.org/...
