Uses the official YouTube Data API v3. Requires YOUTUBE_API_KEY
environment variable (free from Google Cloud Console).
Returns video results with title, description, channel, publish
date, and thumbnail URL. Falls back gracefully if no API key.
SearXNG approach: use Google Search Appliance (GSA) User-Agent
pool — these are whitelisted enterprise identifiers Google trusts.
Key techniques:
- GSA User-Agent (iPhone OS + GSA/ version) instead of Chrome desktop
- CONSENT=YES+ cookie to bypass EU consent wall
- Parse /url?q= redirector URLs (unquote + strip &sa= params)
- div.MjjYud class for result containers (SearXNG selector)
- data-sncf divs for snippets
- detect sorry.google.com blocks
- Suggestions from ouy7Mc class cards
- Rename cmd/searxng-go to cmd/kafka
- Remove all SearXNG references from source comments while keeping
"SearXNG-compatible API" in user-facing docs
- Update binary paths in README, CLAUDE.md, and Dockerfile
- Update log message to "kafka starting"

duckduckgo, github, reddit, and bing were registered in factory.go
and config.go but missing from planner.go, so they were silently
skipped when LOCAL_PORTED_ENGINES was not set.

Implement an API-first Go rewrite with local engine adapters, upstream fallback, and Nix-based tooling so searches can run without matching the original UI while preserving response compatibility.
Made-with: Cursor
