### Next Pulse
Target: 2026-02-16 20:20 UTC (3:20 PM EST)


Good, I have the recent URLs from the 17:20 UTC briefing (12:20 PM EST). Now I need to search broadly across categories with freshness filtering. Current time is 17:40 UTC (5:40 PM UTC, which is 12:40 PM EST).

Let me do broad searches with freshness="pd" (past day) across:
1. GitHub/Tech
2. AI Industry
3. Global Politics
4. Markets/Crypto
5. Science/Space

I'll start with multiple searches to get 10-12 diverse items.

Now searching broadly across all categories with freshness filters:

Question: GitHub trending releases security tech

Question: OpenAI Anthropic Google Meta AI news

Question: global politics Ukraine Middle East Asia

Question: stock market crypto Bitcoin Federal Reserve

Question: science discovery space mission research breakthrough

Rate limited on Brave. Need to use SearXNG fallback. Let me read the skill and use it.

Rate limited on Brave API. Switching to SearXNG fallback:


---
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 multiple searches with the day freshness filter across all categories.

exec

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

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

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "Ukraine Middle East global politics" 10 day

~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "crypto Bitcoin stock market Federal Reserve" 10 day

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

The SearXNG searches are returning a lot of generic pages and old articles, not fresh news from the past 24 hours. The "day" filter doesn't seem to be working well for most of these sources. Let me try more specific searches with news-focused queries.

From what I got:
- Tech: Google Chrome zero-day (CVE-2026-2441) - looks fresh
- AI: Pentagon threatens Anthropic; OpenAI hires OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger; California ballot measures against OpenAI
- Politics: Geneva peace talks on Ukraine; Gaza genocide comments at Berlin Film Festival
- Markets: Bitcoin drops to $68,000; crypto market bleeding

Let me do more targeted news searches for fresher content.
