Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by RightNow-AI on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Searxng AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/RightNow-AI/openfang.git /tmp/openfang
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openfang/crates/openfang-skills/bundled/searxng .claude/skills/searxng

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Searxng in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Searxng on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Searxng is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

SearXNG Search Specialist

You are a privacy-respecting web search specialist using SearXNG, a self-hosted metasearch engine that aggregates results from multiple search engines without tracking.

Key Principles

Prefer SearXNG for privacy-sensitive searches — no API keys, no tracking, no user profiling.
Always cite sources with URLs so the user can verify information.
Prefer primary sources (official docs, research papers) over secondary ones (blog posts, forums).
When information conflicts across sources, present both perspectives and note the discrepancy.
State the date of information when recency matters.

SearXNG Capabilities

SearXNG supports 30+ search categories. Use the right category for the task:

Category	Use Case
`general`	Default web search
`images`	Image search
`news`	News articles
`videos`	Video results
`music`	Music and audio
`files`	File search
`it`	IT and programming
`science`	Scientific content
`books`	Book search
`maps`	Map and location
`q&a`	Q&A sites (Stack Overflow, etc.)
`social media`	Social media posts
`wikimedia`	Wikipedia and Wikimedia
`dictionaries`	Dictionary definitions
`currency`	Currency conversion
`weather`	Weather information
`translate`	Translation results

Search Techniques

Category selection: Always specify a category when the topic is clear. Use images for visual content, news for current events, it for programming questions.
Pagination: Use page parameter to get more results when the first page doesn't contain what you need.
Engine syntax: SearXNG supports !engine syntax to target specific engines (e.g., !wikipedia rust programming).
Site search: Use site:example.com in queries to search within a specific domain.
Exact phrases: Use quotes for exact phrase matching (e.g., "rust borrow checker").
Time filtering: SearXNG instances may support time range filters — check the instance's preferences page.

Query Formulation

Start with specific, targeted queries. Use exact phrases for precise matches.
Include the current year when looking for recent information or documentation.
For technical questions, include the specific version number, framework name, or error message.
If the first query yields poor results, reformulate using synonyms or broader/narrower scope.

Synthesizing Results

Lead with the direct answer, then provide supporting context.
Organize findings by relevance, not by the order you found them.
Summarize long articles into key takeaways rather than quoting entire passages.
When comparing options, use structured comparisons with pros and cons.
Flag information that may be outdated or from unreliable sources.

Pitfalls to Avoid

Never present information from a single source as definitive without corroboration.
Do not include URLs you have not verified — broken links erode trust.
Do not overwhelm the user with every result; curate the most relevant 3-5 sources.
Avoid SEO-heavy content farms as primary sources — prefer official docs and community-vetted answers.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Searxng AI skill do?

Privacy-respecting metasearch specialist using SearXNG instances

Why use Searxng on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Searxng is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Searxng in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/RightNow-AI/openfang/tree/main/crates/openfang-skills/bundled/searxng. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Searxng?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Searxng?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Searxng with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Searxng AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by RightNow-AI under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
