Scavio for SearXNG + API Hybrid Search

The Problem

Self-hosted SearXNG instances return empty results 10-20% of the time because upstream engines rate-limit or block the instance IP, causing unreliable search experience for users.

How Scavio Helps

• Empty-result rate drops from 10-20% to under 1%
• SearXNG handles 80-85% of queries keeping API costs low
• Automatic fallback on empty or low-quality results
• AI Overview data adds context SearXNG cannot provide
• Privacy-first default with reliable commercial fallback

        "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    json={"query": query},
)

    print(f"   {result['link']}\n")
