What it does
Fully automated install Downloads and installs all required components from the internet — Ubuntu 24.04, the WSL2 kernel, and SearXNG — with no manual steps required.
Self-hosted search built for AI SearXNG runs entirely on your machine and exposes a local API that AI tools like Open WebUI and Ollama can query directly — grounding model responses in live search results.
Customisable during install The network port, listen address, and install location can all be configured before installation — no editing config files manually afterwards.
Firewall rules auto-configured Windows Firewall inbound rules are created automatically for the chosen port so SearXNG is reachable from other devices on your network.
Runs as a service — always available SearXNG starts automatically with Windows and runs in the background, so it is always ready for AI tools and browser use without any manual intervention.
Install locally or on a network server Run SearXNG on your own PC for personal use, or install it on a server so every device and AI tool on your network can use it as a shared search endpoint.
