# privatedeepsearch-melt > *"Google wants to know everything about you. I want to know nothing."* > — melt, probably **melt** is your privacy-obsessed research assistant. She searches the web deeply, synthesizes findings with citations, and forgets everything the moment she's done. Powered by [SearXNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng). No Google. No tracking. No API keys. No BS. --- ## What melt Does ### 🔍 She Searches (Privately) ```bash searx "best password managers 2026" 5 ``` melt queries DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage, and friends. Google and Bing are blocked at the door. ### 🔬 She Researches (Deeply) ```bash deep-research "zero knowledge proofs practical applications" ``` melt doesn't just search once and call it a day. She: 1. Searches your query 2. Reads the results 3. Thinks "hmm, I need more context" 4. Searches again with refined terms 5. Scrapes full article content 6. Repeats up to 5 times 7. Synthesizes everything into a report with citations Like Perplexity, but she doesn't sell your soul to investors. ### 🛡️ She Protects (Always) | What Big Tech Does | What melt Does | |--------------------|----------------| | Logs every search | Logs nothing | | Builds a profile on you | Forgets you exist | | Sells your data | Has no data to sell | | Runs on their servers | Runs on YOUR machine | | Costs $20/month | Costs $0/forever | --- ## Quick Start ### 1. Wake melt Up ```bash # Auto-setup (generates secret key + starts container) ./setup.sh # Or manually cd docker && docker-compose up -d ``` She'll be ready at `http://localhost:8888` ### 2. Teach Her to Your AI ```bash cp -r skills/* ~/.clawdbot/skills/ # Or via ClawdHub clawdhub install privatedeepsearch-melt ``` ### 3. (Optional) Fire the Competition Tell Clawdbot to stop using Brave API: ```json { "tools": { "web": { "search": { "enabled": false } } } } ``` --- ## How Deep Research Actually Works ``` You: "explain quantum computing" │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ melt: "Got it. Let me dig." │ └───────────────┬───────────────┘ │ Round 1: "explain quantum computing" Round 2: "quantum computing detailed analysis" Round 3: "quantum computing comprehensive guide" │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ SearXNG: *queries 5 engines* │ │ Returns 10 results per round │ └───────────────┬───────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ melt: "YouTube? Facebook? │ │ Nice try. BLOCKED." │ └───────────────┬───────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ *Scrapes 10 pages at once* │ │ asyncio go brrrrrr │ └───────────────┬───────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌───────────────────────────────┐ │ # Deep Research Report │ │ **Sources:** 17 │ │ ## [1] Quantum 101... │ │ ## [2] IBM's Breakthrough... │ └───────────────────────────────┘ ``` --- ## Privacy Architecture ``` Your brain │ ▼ (you type a query) ┌─────────────────┐ │ Clawdbot │ ← Your machine. Your rules. └────────┬────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────┐ │ melt │ ← Localhost. No cloud. No logs. │ (SearXNG) │ └────────┬────────┘ │ ▼ (optional but recommended) ┌─────────────────┐ │ Your VPN │ ← Hide your IP from everyone └────────┬────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────┐ │ DuckDuckGo │ ← They see VPN IP, not you │ Brave Search │ │ Startpage │ └─────────────────┘ ``` **Who sees what:** - **Google**: Nothing. Blocked. - **Your ISP**: Encrypted traffic. They mad. - **melt**: Everything. But she has amnesia. --- ## Why Open Source Matters melt is MIT licensed because: 1. **You can audit the code** — No hidden trackers 2. **You can fork it** — Make your own version 3. **You can improve it** — PRs welcome 4. **You own your data** — It never leaves your machine Closed-source "privacy" tools ask you to trust them. melt asks you to verify. --- ## Engines melt Trusts ✅ **Enabled:** - DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Startpage - Qwant, Mojeek - Wikipedia, GitHub, StackOverflow, Reddit, arXiv - Piped, Invidious (YouTube without YouTube) ❌ **Blocked:** - Google (all of it) - Bing (all of it) - Anything that tracks you --- ## Requirements - Docker & Docker Compose - Python 3.8+ - A healthy distrust of Big Tech ```bash pip install aiohttp beautifulsoup4 ``` --- ## Files ``` privatedeepsearch-melt/ ├── README.md ← You are here ├── docker/ │ ├── docker-compose.yml ← SearXNG deployment │ └── searxng/settings.yml ├── skills/ │ ├── searxng/ ← Basic search skill │ └── deep-research/ ← The good stuff └── docs/ ├── PRIVACY.md ← How melt protects you └── TROUBLESHOOTING.md ← When things break ``` --- ## Credits - **[SearXNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng)** — The real hero. Privacy-respecting meta-search that makes this possible. - **[OpenWebUI Deep Research](https://github.com/teodorgross/research-openwebui)** — Algorithm inspiration - **[Clawdbot](https://clawd.bot)** — AI assistant framework --- ## License MIT — Do whatever you want.
