TinySearch updates to SearXNG for local LLM web context

TinySearch, a lightweight open-source web search tool designed for local LLMs, has released version 0.2.0. This update replaces its previous reliance on DuckDuckGo with SearXNG as the default backend, offering greater flexibility and reducing dependency on a single search provider. The tool is optimized to provide smaller LLMs with a compact, source-grounded context blob of up to 8,000 tokens, making it suitable for agents and local setups that cannot handle large amounts of scraped data. AI

IMPACT Provides a more robust web context solution for smaller, locally run LLMs.
