Enable privacy-first, multi-engine search for specialized verticals in Agno agents using SearXNG tools. Conduct decentralized research that can verify facts across multiple search backends simultaneously. 

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.searxng import SearxngTools

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


# Initialize Searxng with your Searxng instance URL
searxng = SearxngTools(
    host="http://localhost:53153",
    engines=[],
    fixed_max_results=5,
    include_tools=["science_search","news_search"]
)

# Create an agent with Searxng
agent = Agent(tools=[searxng])

# Example: Ask the agent to search using Searxng

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run Agent
