SearXNG request failed: {err}

Error message

SearXNG request failed: {err}

What it means

Transport-failure mapping in SearxngTool::search: the reqwest GET /search call to the SearXNG instance failed before a response status could be read — instance down, DNS/connection failure, TLS problem, or the per-request timeout (self.timeout_secs) fired. The reqwest error is logged at warn and rewrapped; this is distinct from a non-2xx status, which is handled in the following block.

Solutions

1. Verify the configured SearXNG base URL is correct and the instance is up (curl its /search endpoint).
2. Retry; transient network errors often resolve.
3. If timeouts recur, raise the timeout or check proxy/firewall paths to the instance.
