TinySearch v0.2.0: Lightweight Open Web-Search Tool for Local LLMs Now Defaults to SearXNG
Original: Still a VERY lightweight open web-search tool for smaller local LLMs - now with SearXNG support
TinySearch v0.2.0 swaps DuckDuckGo for SearXNG to deliver more reliable web search for small local LLMs via MCP.
TinySearch is a lightweight open-source MCP/FastAPI tool that crawls, chunks, and reranks web results into an 8k-token context blob for small local LLMs. Version 0.2.0 replaces DuckDuckGo with SearXNG as the default backend after DDG began rate-limiting and CAPTCHAing automated requests. Users can point it at a self-hosted SearXNG instance; it integrates with Cline, Roo, and OpenCode agent setups.
TinySearch is an open-source project maintained by community developers on GitHub. It is positioned as an extremely lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol)/FastAPI web search tool. Its core design goal is to enable resource-constrained small local LLMs to reliably access real-time web information without needing a complete search backend infrastructure.
