cptr/utils/web/searxng.py — New module. Queries the SearXNG JSON API (/search?format=json) using the same pattern as duckduckgo.py (httpx, try/except, "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; cptr/1.0)" user-agent). Surfaces four response layers:

answers → rendered as blockquote (> ...)
infoboxes → rendered as label/value attribute blocks
results → rendered as **Title**\nURL\nSnippet (sorted by score descending)
suggestions → appended as comma-separated list

No API key. base_url is required (no default — SearXNG is always self-hosted).

cptr/utils/web/search.py — Imported the module, added SEARXNG_BASE_URL config/env var, added dispatch branch for both explicit ("searxng") and auto mode (priority 6, before DuckDuckGo).

cptr/frontend/src/lib/components/Admin/Web.svelte — Added searxngBaseUrl state, config load/save, dropdown option, and a URL text input with hint.

cptr/frontend/src/lib/i18n/locales/en.json — Added 3 keys for the UI strings.

🟣 #67 feat: configurable perplexity base URL for web search - litellm is perplexity search API compatible
Related because it adds another configurable web search provider and introduces a provider-specific base URL setting in the same search-provider configuration area. The new SearXNG feature similarly adds a new provider, a required base URL, and auto-mode integration.
by Classic298
🟣 #32 feat: perplexity_search aka litellm as web search provider
Related because it is an earlier web search provider addition in the same subsystem, showing the same pattern of extending the provider list and search dispatch logic. It is not SearXNG-specific, but it is directly adjacent to this feature.
