Brave API rate limits hit. I need to fall back to SearXNG for all searches. Let me use the searxng-search skill.

Brave API rate limited. Switching to SearXNG fallback for all searches.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Good, I have the SearXNG skill. Now I'll run searches across all categories using the SearXNG fallback. I'll make sure to use `day` freshness for all searches since this is a news pulse.

exec

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repositories new releases" 10 day

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI industry OpenAI Anthropic Google Meta news" 10 day

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "global politics breaking news US Europe Asia" 10 day

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "stock market cryptocurrency Fed policy" 10 day

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "science discoveries space mission breakthrough" 10 day

NPR’s David Greene is suing Google over its AI podcast voice.
The former host of Morning Edition and current host of Left, Right & Center claims that Google illegally replicated his voice for its male podcast host in NotebookLM. Google denies this, but Greene (and many of his friends and colleagues) say the resemblance is “uncanny.” As the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/15/david-greene-google-ai-podcast/) reports:
To Greene, the resemblance of the AI voice to his own is uncanny — and the harm is deeper and more personal than just a missed chance to capitalize on his most recognizable asset.
“My voice is, like, the most important part of who I am,” Greene said.

The Linux kernel is gaining support for Rock Band 4 guitars for some reason.
[Linux](/tech/870159/linux-gaming-open-gaming-collective-bazzite) [gaming](/games/761025/framework-desktop-bazzite-linux-steam-machine-pc-game-console-impressions) is getting better every day, but I’m not sure that anyone had this on their 2026 bingo card. Support for [guitar controllers](https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.0-HID) is being baked directly into the [Linux 7.0 kernel](https://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/The-Next-Linux-Kernel-Turns-7.0), including some licensed models, such as the PDP RiffMaster and CRKD Gibson SG.

Western Digital says it’s “pretty much soldout” for 2026.
Enterprise customers, especially AI data centers, have already [gobbled up](https://investor.wdc.com/events/event-details/western-digital-second-quarter-fiscal-2026-earnings-call) the company’s capacity for 2026. At this point, consumer sales account for just[5 percent](https://www.tweaktown.com/news/110168/western-digital-runs-out-of-hdd-capacity-ceo-says-massive-ai-deals-secured-price-surges-ahead/index.html) of the company’s revenue, so it’s no surprise WD is prioritizing high-capacity drives for data centers. What’s more, theyre also [driving up prices](https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/hdds/hard-drive-prices-have-surged-by-an-average-of-46-percent-since-september-iconic-24tb-seagate-barracuda-now-usd500-as-ai-claims-another-victim). Tan told investors:
We’ve pretty much sold out for calendar year 26. We have firm POs with our top seven customers. And we’ve also established LTAs with two of them for calendar year 27 and one of them for calendar year 28.

Disney accuses Bytedance’s new AI video model of infringing on its characters.
In a cease and desist letter, Disney includes examples of the [new Seedance 2.0 model](/ai-artificial-intelligence/877931/bytedance-seedance-2-video-generator-ai-launch) making videos featuring characters like Spider-Man and Darth Vader, [according to](https://www.axios.com/2026/02/13/disney-bytedance-seedance)[Axios](https://www.axios.com/2026/02/13/disney-bytedance-seedance). “ByteDance is hijacking Disney’s characters by reproducing, distributing, and creating derivative works featuring those characters,” Disney’s attorney said.

Polymarket ran a popup ‘free grocery store’ in NYC because it has ‘market’ in its name.
[Curbed](https://www.curbed.com/article/polymarket-free-grocery-pop-up-west-village-opening-day.html) described the scene as “bleak” and noted that many waiting in line for [the promised](/news/873460/polymarket-and-kalshi-play-nino-brown) free Tide Pods and milk (which was apparently purchased at an Aldi before being stocked on the popups’ oddly orderly shelves) had never heard of Polymarket and didn’t intend to place bets there. When [Curbed](https://www.curbed.com/article/polymarket-free-grocery-pop-up-west-village-opening-day.html) asked why:
Because of the word market within Polymarket, per Josh Tucker, a company executive. Get it? Daf Orlovsky, a creative director, said it could work — “these ideas that don’t seem possible could be brought to life at tech-market speed,” he said.

Stern’s new pinball machines are for Pokémon fans with deep pockets.
The machines could be some of the priciest merch released for the franchise’s 30th anniversary. There’s [fun details like a Master ball plunger handle](https://sternpinball.com/game/pokemon/) and a Meowth balloon that swoops down, but to get all the best features you’ll need to skip the $6,999 Pro and $9,699 Premium machines, and splurge on the $12,999 Limited Edition option.

Deezer is giving users more control over their infinite algorithmic Flow playlists.
[Flow Tuner](https://newsroom-deezer.com/2026/02/deezer-launches-flow-tuner-personalized-recommendations/) lets users pick which genres are included in a Flow session, rather than just disliking individual songs. It’s a hamfisted way to customize your algorithm, but the specificity of Deezer’s options are impressive: Metalcore, Balkan Folk, Schlager. This is well beyond your basic buckets like rock and pop.
