Spend tokens on answers, not webpages.

TinySearch searches, crawls, and reranks the web locally, then gives your agent only the evidence worth putting in its context.

TinySearch is a self-hosted web-research tool for AI agents. It searches the web, reads the best pages, removes low-value content, and returns compact evidence with source URLs.

Your model receives the useful passages instead of paying to process entire webpages.

TinySearch is part of TinySuite, a suite of focused tools designed to make agentic operations cheaper by minimizing token usage through smart retrieval, selection, and context-management techniques.

Choose a tier

Tiers 1 and 2 need no search service. Tier 3 adds a dedicated SearXNG service, persistent model storage, and a network MCP endpoint. See the installation guide for the Docker setup.

The expensive part of agent research is context

A search result is not yet useful evidence. Agents often have to open several pages, ingest navigation and boilerplate, and spend paid input tokens deciding which passages matter.

TinySearch moves that work in front of the model:

flowchart LR
    A[Question] --> B[Search and crawl]
    B --> C[Local hybrid reranking]
    C --> D[Compact evidence<br/>with source URLs]
    D --> E[Your agent]

That lowers cost in three ways:
