AgentSearch wraps SearXNG with a FastAPI layer to provide a self-hosted search API tailored for AI agents, featuring 16 endpoints, multi-strategy content extraction, and optional Tor-anonymized networking. Its combination of deduplication, cross-engine scoring, prompt injection scrubbing, and self-improvement mechanisms fills a practical gap for developers who need a private, cost-free alternative to commercial search APIs.

Target audience: backend devs, AI engineers, devops
