SearXNG in Larvabot
Your own unlimited search engine, self-hosted for free.
What it is
SearXNG is open-source metasearch software. You run it on your own server, and it queries engines like Google, Bing, Brave and DuckDuckGo for you, returning combined results as JSON.
Free tier
Checked September 2026SearXNG is free and open source. The only cost is a small server (a spare VPS works; it uses very little memory). docs.searxng.org ↗
What Larvabot uses it for
- ✓Unlimited fallback search once the monthly API quotas are used
- ✓Runs before any one-time search credits, so those last longer
How Larvabot keeps it free
Nothing to meter. Larvabot searches a few dozen times a day, well within what upstream engines tolerate. Protect your instance with a password so it isn't public.
