Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@bsbofmusic/searxng-search

Password-protected SearXNG MCP server for Hermes research workflows.

1.4.2

This release tightens the default engine routing for the current private SearXNG deployment.

Why

The previous default tried a broad soup of google,bing,startpage,ecosia,duckduckgo. Live engine health showed that DuckDuckGo and Startpage frequently hit CAPTCHA, while Bing general search often introduced noisy results for docs and Chinese queries. For Hermes research, a smaller healthy engine set beats a larger unstable set.

New default engine routing

  • General: google
  • Chinese: google,baidu,sogou
  • News/company:
    • Chinese: google,baidu,sogou,bing news
    • English: google,bing news,google news,reuters
  • Docs/pricing/how-to: google,github,stackoverflow,mdn
  • Academic: google,semantic scholar,arxiv

DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Ecosia, Bing general, and Brave are no longer default discovery engines. They can still be explicitly requested via the engines argument.

Validation

node --check server.js
SEARXNG_TEST_MODE=1 node -e "import('./server.js').then(m => { const qs=['OpenAI Responses API documentation','2026年5月 AI 科技新闻','mixture of agents paper arxiv']; for (const q of qs) console.log(q, '=>', m.selectDefaultEngines(q)); })"
npm pack --dry-run --json

Known limits

Search quality still depends on the upstream SearXNG instance, outbound IP reputation, and engine blocking. This package improves engine choice and result ranking; it does not bypass CAPTCHA or anti-bot systems.
