SearchForge v0.1.0 — open web search for every RAG stack

SearchForge gives LLMs, agents, and RAG pipelines a provider-neutral web search layer without requiring another LLM.

Highlights

• SearXNG-first, self-hosted full-web metasearch
• Optional Brave Search adapter and no-key Wikipedia fallback
• REST API, MCP stdio tool, CLI, and TypeScript SDK
• Concurrent provider calls with independent timeouts and partial-failure recovery
• Canonical URL deduplication and Reciprocal Rank Fusion
• Citation-ready URLs, snippets, provenance, and provider health
• Bounded TTL cache, optional API-key auth, rate limiting, and request IDs
• Docker Compose stack with JSON-enabled SearXNG
• OpenAPI 3.1 contract
• Zero known dependency vulnerabilities
• Tested on Node.js 20, 22, and 24

Search results are untrusted external evidence. Preserve citations and apply prompt-injection defenses in downstream RAG applications.
