v0.2.0 Release Notes
Title:
v0.2.0 - Search integration research for coding agents
Summary
Awesome Agent Search now focuses on the broader problem of bringing search into coding agents.
SearXNG remains an important privacy-aware baseline, but it is no longer framed as the only route. The repository now compares native/provider-managed web search, MCP search adapters, self-hosted search, hosted search APIs, browser-based retrieval, local documentation search, and hybrid routing policies.
What's New
- Repositioned the README, Chinese README, AGENTS guide, and positioning docs around multi-backend search integration.
- Added Search integration strategies.
- Added Comparison issue backlog for issue-ready research tasks.
- Expanded Search backend comparison beyond SearXNG.
- Added Chinese translations for the new strategy and issue-backlog docs.
- Updated the machine-readable registry and generated registry index.
- Updated social preview artwork to reflect the broader scope.
- Updated GitHub repository metadata and topics for the new positioning.
Research Scope
The next comparison work should cover:
- native or provider-managed web search in coding-agent runtimes
- MCP search adapters
- self-hosted SearXNG
- Brave Search API
- Tavily
- browser automation and browser plugin routes
- local or private documentation search
- hybrid routing policies
Privacy Notes
No private endpoints, credentials, cookies, session material, local machine paths, personal email addresses, or raw local transcripts are included.
Search comparisons should cite official docs, date volatile observations, and keep private account behavior out of public reports.
Next Steps
- Publish selected comparison backlog entries as GitHub issues.
- Build a public query evaluation set.
- Add dated comparison notes for native search, hosted APIs, and browser retrieval.
- Re-upload the updated social preview image in GitHub repository settings.
