**Backend selection:** If `web.backend` is not set, the backend is auto-detected from available API keys. If only `SEARXNG_URL` is set, SearXNG is used. If only `EXA_API_KEY` is set, Exa is used. If only `TAVILY_API_KEY` is set, Tavily is used. If only `PARALLEL_API_KEY` is set, Parallel is used. Otherwise Firecrawl is the default.
**SearXNG** is a free, self-hosted, privacy-respecting metasearch engine that queries 70+ search engines. No API key needed — just set `SEARXNG_URL` to your instance (e.g., `http://localhost:8080`). SearXNG is search-only; `web_extract` and `web_crawl` require a separate extract provider (set `web.extract_backend`).

**Self-hosted Firecrawl:** Set `FIRECRAWL_API_URL` to point at your own instance. When a custom URL is set, the API key becomes optional (set `USE_DB_AUTHENTICATION=*** on the server to disable auth).
