Rate limited on Brave. I'll use the SearXNG skill for the remaining searches. Let me first read the SearXNG skill, then use it for all my searches.

Rate limited on Brave — switching to SearXNG.


---
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.

The Guardian’s community affairs correspondent, Chris Osuh, reports on the plot by two IS terrorists to massacre Jews in Manchester, and how it was thwarted by an undercover sting

Walid Saadaoui had once worked as a holiday entertainer, organising dance shows and quizzes at a resort in his native Tunisia. After moving to the UK and marrying a British woman, he became a restaurateur and an avid keeper of birds.

The GitHub trending page isn't returning the list of trending repos (probably requires JavaScript rendering). Let me try fetching from a different source for GitHub trending, and also continue getting more news from other sources.

Key findings so far:
- BBC:
  - UK gov abandons council election delay plan (Reform UK legal challenge) - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70ne31d884o - new!
  - Hillary Clinton accuses Trump of Epstein cover-up - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czx47k34yqxo - new!
  - Ukraine pays for troops to freeze sperm (demographic catastrophe) - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqxd9549y4xo - new!
  - Sarah Ferguson companies winding down (Epstein links) - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9g28yzy0no - new!
  - India AI Summit with tech leaders in Delhi - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr5l6gnen72o - new!

Now checking what NYT has to offer.

Vaccine manufacturers are pulling back on research and laying off staff in response to RFK Jr's policies. Also seeing a16z actively searching for European unicorns, and Recursive Intelligence just closed a massive funding round at a $4B valuation in just four months. The Guardian's reporting on a thwarted terror plot targeting British Jews.

I'm still missing coverage on GitHub and tech repositories, crypto and market movements, plus science and space news. Reuters has a few more stories worth noting—France is investigating Jack Lang's connections to Epstein, IS brides are returning to Australia from Syria, and there's reporting on Gaza's de-facto annexation. Let me pull in some crypto market data and science coverage, maybe from Ars Technica or Hacker News to round out the tech angle.

                            <![CDATA[
It may be more tempting to take that aging Mac you've been coddling and put it out to pasture soon. Apple has announced an event for March 4, which in usual Apple fashion, it has branded a "Special Apple Experience." Also in usual Apple fashion, it has not come out and said what it's going to be announcing. We have a pretty good idea, though.

The event will kick off at 9AM ET on March 4—Ars will be on the ground in New York City to cover Apple's latest unveiling, whatever form it may take. Apple doesn't release most products on a set schedule, but some recent speculation about likely hardware updates can point us in the right direction.

As we reported recently, the iPhone 17e may be making an appearance in Apple's lineup soon. This updated version of the budget-oriented iPhone will have an A19 chip inside, similar to the one powering the base model iPhone 17. It may also add MagSafe charging. Don't expect to see a multi-camera array like you'd get on the more expensive Apple phones, though. Pricing will be the most important thing to watch for should Apple announce this phone. Right now, the non-Pro iPhone 16 and 17 (including the 16e) are all clustered in the $600-800 range. Another $599 budget iPhone won't make waves.

Good. I see CoinDesk results - the Hong Kong license was already reported. Let me get more from CoinDesk and also fetch science news and another tech source.

From Ars Technica:
- Apple announces "Special Experience" on March 4, new Macs and iPads expected - https://arstechnica.com/apple/2026/02/get-ready-for-new-macs-and-ipads-apple-announces-special-experience-on-march-4/ - new!

From CoinDesk:
- Sanctioned Russian stablecoin issuer (A7A5) ruble-pegged stablecoin as trade rail despite sanctions - https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2026/02/16/we-do-not-do-illegal-things-inside-a-u-s-sanctioned-stablecoin-issuer-s-race-to-build-a-crypto-giant - new!

Now I need to pull in science coverage and check Reuters for geopolitical developments.

			<title>Lab grown human spinal cord heals after injury in major breakthrough</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260216044003.htm</link>
			<description>Researchers have built a realistic human mini spinal cord in the lab and used it to simulate traumatic injury. The model reproduced key damage seen in real spinal cord injuries, including inflammation and scar formation. After treatment with fast moving “dancing molecules,” nerve fibers began growing again and scar tissue shrank. The results suggest the therapy could eventually help repair spinal cord damage.</description>

			<title>Brain inflammation may be driving compulsive behavior</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260215225606.htm</link>
			<description>For years, compulsive behaviors have been viewed as bad habits stuck on autopilot. But new research in rats found the opposite: inflammation in a key decision-making brain region actually made behavior more deliberate, not more automatic. The change was linked to astrocytes, brain support cells that multiplied and disrupted nearby circuits. The discovery hints that some compulsive behaviors may arise from excessive, misdirected control rather than a loss of it.</description>

			<title>Ancient fingerprint found on 2,400-year-old Danish war boat</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260215225551.htm</link>
			<description>More than a century after its discovery, Scandinavia’s oldest plank boat is finally giving up new secrets. By analyzing ancient caulking and cords from the Hjortspring boat, researchers uncovered traces of pine pitch and animal fat — materials that likely came from pine-rich regions east of Denmark along the Baltic Sea. This suggests the vessel, used by a band of Iron Age warriors who attacked the island of Als over 2,000 years ago, may have sailed across open waters on a long, carefully planned mission.</description>

			<title>Scientists discover the enzyme that lets cancer rapidly rewire its DNA</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260215225546.htm</link>
			<description>Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular structures, unleashing a burst of genetic changes that can help tumors rapidly adapt and resist therapy. Blocking the enzyme dramatically reduced this genomic destruction in cancer cells.</description>

Good - I have some great science items:
1. Lab-grown human mini spinal cord heals after injury - breakthrough! - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260216044003.htm - new!
2. Cancer enzyme (N4BP2) that lets cancer rapidly rewire DNA found - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260215225546.htm - new!
3. Ancient fingerprint on 2,400-year-old Danish war boat - https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260215225551.htm - new (but more archaeology than space/science)

4. Now I need to pull in some tech and GitHub content from Hacker News, grab market and stock updates, and see if I'm missing any AI coverage. Let me also check the New York Times RSS feed for additional stories.
