Answers {query, number\_of\_results, results:\[{url, title, content, engine}]} — the exact /search?format=json contract a SearXNG client decodes, so an agent tool configured against SearXNG reaches this with no change. `q` is the query and `language` narrows it; both are read from the QUERY STRING.

Served in-process by a Go meta-search over keyless public engines, never a third-party search API and never a search key. The enabled engines run concurrently and their hits are merged, deduplicated by normalised URL (host and path, trailing slash and fragment dropped, query kept — distinct queries are distinct results) and capped at 30. Ranking is deterministic rather than scored: the first configured engine's hits lead.

TWO WAYS IN, one-way equivalent, and no third: a validated principal — the same gate the whole data plane uses — passes straight through, and a caller without one must present the shared service key as X-API-Key, compared in constant time. A deployment with no key configured answers 503 rather than opening the surface to everyone, and a missing or wrong key is 401. It is never an open proxy. There is no tenant scoping beyond that gate, and there is nothing to scope: the results are public web pages, identical for every caller.

It fails SOFT on the engines and closed only on the gate. An engine that errors or is served a bot-challenge page contributes zero results and never fails the request, so an empty `results` is a real answer — nothing was found — and not an outage. The array is always present, never null.

The one thing to get right: every method answers identically. This is one handler registered for all of them, and it reads only the query string, so a body sent on the write verbs is ignored rather than refused.

## Request

The document declares no body for `PATCH /v1/websearch/search`. The handler is typed in cloud but its shape is not yet emitted, so the fields are not listed here — ask MCP's `describe` for `patch_websearch_search`, which answers from the running route.

## Response

The document declares no response body for this operation. It answers `200` on success and the platform error shape on failure — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo websearch search patch
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, WebsearchApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new WebsearchApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.patchWebsearchSearch();
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import WebsearchApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = WebsearchApi(client).patch_websearch_search()
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.WebsearchAPI.PatchWebsearchSearch(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, websearch_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = websearch_api::patch_websearch_search(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.WebsearchApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new WebsearchApi(client).patchWebsearchSearch();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X PATCH https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/websearch/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY"
```

**MCP**

MCP declares no tool for **websearch** — `tools/list` on `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp` names the products it does reach. Use HTTP or an SDK.
