Scout

Web search via SearXNG from the Perch.

Scout searches the web through a SearXNG instance.

Setup

Configure your instance in ~/.config/toowl/config.toml:

[plugins.scout.settings]
searxng_url = "https://your-searx.example.com"

Usage

  1. Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P).
  2. Run search: (Scout palette action) or open Scout in the Perch.
  3. Type a query and press Enter.
  4. Click a result to open it in your browser.

Scout requires network access to your SearXNG host and uses the JSON search API (format=json).
