Description
Ask-search brings web search into the terminal via a self-hosted SearxNG instance that queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brave simultaneously. It gives privacy-conscious searchers and AI agent builders a way to retrieve web results without exposing a commercial API key or relying on a single engine. Output can be limited, filtered by language and category, or returned as raw JSON for programmatic use.
