## SearXNG in Duaer

SearXNG is used in Duaer’s AI or cluster features, often wired with chat-model, tool, or vector-store sub-nodes.

The product’s node note is: A meta search engine. Useful for when you need to answer questions about current events. Input should be a search query. Output is a JSON array of the query results.

## Credentials and parameters

Create the credential type this service needs under Credentials.

Parameters accept expressions. Tool parameters that an AI Agent should fill use $fromAI. When a run fails, read the error on the node output first.
## Questions

### How do you add SearXNG to a Duaer digital organization?

Open the node panel on the Duaer canvas, search for SearXNG, and drop it onto the digital organization. Connect it after a trigger or a previous node. If auth is required, save the credential first and select it on the node.

### What should you check first when SearXNG fails in Duaer?

Read the error text on that node’s output, then confirm the credential still works and required parameters are filled. For app nodes, also check permissions and quota on the provider side.
