Searxng Web Search

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This is a purpose-aligned SearXNG web search skill, with minor notes that its helper script is missing from the supplied package and search queries go to the configured SearXNG server.

Before installing, confirm the missing `scripts/search.clj` helper is supplied from a trusted source, set `SEARXNG_URL` to a SearXNG instance you trust, and avoid using sensitive secrets in search queries.

Findings (2)

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.

What this means

The skill may not work as documented, and any separately supplied replacement script would need its own review before use.

Why it was flagged

The runtime instructions depend on `scripts/search.clj`, but the supplied manifest contains only `SKILL.md` and `references/api-guide.md`, so the runnable helper is not present in the reviewed artifacts.

Skill content
bb scripts/search.clj "your search query"
Recommendation

Only install or run this skill if the expected `scripts/search.clj` file is supplied from a trusted source and matches the documented behavior.

What this means

Search terms may be visible to the configured SearXNG server and, depending on that server's configuration, upstream search engines.

Why it was flagged

Search queries are sent to the configured SearXNG endpoint. This is expected for the skill's purpose, but the endpoint choice determines who can observe those queries.

Skill content
Set the `SEARXNG_URL` environment variable to your SearXNG instance
Recommendation

Use a trusted or local SearXNG instance and avoid putting secrets, credentials, or highly sensitive private data into search queries.
