**Self-hosted web search for AI agents — zero API key, full privacy**

*Works in OpenClaw · Claude Code · Antigravity · Any CLI*

😡 The Problem

Your AI agent wants to search the web, but:

Brave Search API: $3/1000 queries, rate limited
Google Custom Search: $5/1000, daily caps
Bing API: paid, complex setup
Built-in web search: sends queries to third-party servers

**You just want your local agent to search Google without paying or leaking queries.**

✅ The Solution

`ask-search` wraps [SearxNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng) — a self-hosted meta search engine that aggregates Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave and 70+ more sources. One command, all results, zero cost.
