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
- Inline JS in base.html: debounced fetch from /autocompleter on keyup
- Keyboard nav: arrows to navigate, Enter to select, Esc to close
- Highlight matching prefix in suggestions
- Click to select and submit
- Dropdown positioned absolutely below search input
- Dark mode compatible via existing CSS variables
