Good, I have the memory file. I can see URLs already reported at 12:20 AM and 12:40 AM UTC. Now I need to search across categories with freshness filters and ensure diversity.

Let me search across all categories:
1. GitHub/Tech (2-3 items)
2. AI Industry (2-3 items)
3. Global Politics (2-3 items)

5. Science/Space (2 items)

I'll use web_search with freshness="pd" (past day).

Brave API is rate limited. I need to use the SearXNG skill as fallback. Let me read the skill file first to understand how to use it properly.

Brave API rate limited. Switching to SearXNG fallback for remaining categories.


---
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.


Perfect. I'll use the SearXNG skill for the rate-limited searches. I need to search:
- AI industry news
- Global politics
- Markets/crypto

All with "day" freshness filter.

The web_fetch on homepages isn't giving me actual article headlines and links — they're just pulling metadata/footer content. I need a different approach.Let me try fetching specific news feed pages or using better targeted searches with site: operators.Actually, looking at the CoinDesk fetch, I did get some story snippets with inline links. Let me parse those out. I can see articles like:- "Harvard cuts bitcoin exposure by 20%, adds new ether position"- "Russia's daily crypto turnover is over $650 million"- "OKX snags European payments license"But I need URLs. The text shows partial URLs in brackets. Let me check my already-reported URLs from memory and then craft a briefing with what I have from Brave + construct some URLs based on the visible link patterns.Actually, wait. I should try one more approach: direct RSS/feed fetches or targeted site searches with recent timestamps. Let me try BBC News and Politico.
