+
+Blend Engine is a privacy-first, AI-assisted metasearch engine built by
+Raj Singh / Markanm Team. The current codebase serves a custom dark-first web
+interface, exposes Flask JSON endpoints, routes searches through configured
+providers, and includes Navar, an assistant layer for guided answers, page
+scanning, Google Dork generation, and search intent routing.
+
+The project is designed for people who want a clean search experience without
+ad profiling, invasive tracking, or committing private API configuration into
+source control.
+
+## Acknowledgments
+Blend Engine was originally inspired by and started as a fork of [SearxNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng). We owe a great debt of gratitude to the SearxNG maintainers and community for their pioneering work in privacy-preserving metasearch. This repository now combines SearxNG-derived pieces with Markanm-authored frontend, assistant, provider-routing, media, and privacy-layer code; its roots in the open web search movement began with SearxNG.
+
+## What Blend Engine Does
+
+
+Blend Engine provides a full search application, not just a backend library.
+It includes:
+
+- A Flask-based backend that serves browser pages and JSON APIs.
+- A custom frontend for home, results, about, privacy, and settings pages.
+- Implemented search paths for web/general results, images, videos/music, news,
+  and frontend map, file, and social tabs that call the same `/api/search`
+  endpoint with category parameters.
+- Navar integration for conversational answers, URL/page scanning, Google Dork
+  generation, and multi-tab intent routing.
+- Query routing and result ranking/boosting across the active provider layer.
+- DuckDuckGo autocomplete with local fallback suggestions.
+- YouTube media search plus optional stream/download helpers through `yt-dlp`.
+- In-process search-response caching in the standalone Flask launcher; Valkey is
+  present as a dependency for lower-level compatibility modules, but this
+  launcher does not require an external Valkey/Redis service by default.
+- Browser-local UI preferences, privacy headers, and environment-based runtime
+  configuration.
+
+## Core Features
+
+### Privacy-First Search
+
+Blend is built around a no-profile search flow. The public configuration avoids
+committing private secrets, local API keys, or personal credentials. Local
+runtime settings belong in `.env`, `admin_config.json`, or local override files
+that are ignored by Git.
+
+### Navar AI Assistant
+
+Navar is the assistant layer inside Blend. In the current code it can:
+
+- Build conversational answers from the query and the result context supplied by
+  the frontend/API call.
+- Route user intent to web, images, videos, news, maps, social, all-search, or
+  AI chat modes.
+- Scan URLs and summarize extracted page text.
+- Generate Google Dork-style advanced queries.
+- Answer Markanm and Blend-specific questions from the built-in knowledge base.
+
+LLM-backed responses depend on the configured provider/API settings. Without a
+working provider configuration, Navar falls back to deterministic routing, scan,
+and knowledge-base responses where available.
+
+### Multi-Engine Search
+
+The standalone search path in `backend/app.py` uses `SearchRouter` and
+`ProviderManager` to select the active providers. In the current code, general
+web search uses Google/Brave providers, image search uses the Bing image
+provider, video and music search use the YouTube music provider, and news uses
+a Google News RSS path in the Flask launcher.
+
+The repository also contains SearxNG-derived `backend/blend_core/` modules and
+configuration for compatibility, but the custom frontend primarily talks to the
+standalone `/api/search` route.
+
+### Custom Frontend
+
+The `frontend/` directory contains the public Blend UI. It is dark-first,
+mobile-friendly, and focused on practical search workflows:
+
+- Home page with shortcuts, categories, privacy widgets, and search entry.
+- Results page with tabs for web, images, videos, news, maps, music, files,
+  social results, and AI chat. Some tabs are frontend workflows over the shared
+  search API rather than separate fully independent backend engines.
+- Privacy, about, and settings pages.
+- Frontend configuration in `frontend/templates/blend-config.js`.
+
+### Local-Friendly Backend
+
+`backend/start_backend.sh` starts the app in embedded/offline-friendly mode so
+local startup does not fail just because remote search engines or network probes
+are unavailable.

+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.10 or newer
+- `pip`
+- Optional: Valkey/Redis if you enable external caching
+- Optional: `yt-dlp` features are installed through `backend/requirements.txt`
+
+## Local Development
+
+From the project root:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+cd backend
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+./start_backend.sh
+```
+
+The backend starts on:
+
+```text
+http://127.0.0.1:8081
+```
+
+You can also run the app directly from `backend/`:
+
+```bash
+python app.py
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in local values:
+
+```env
+NAVAR_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
+YOUTUBEI_API_KEY=your_youtubei_key_here
+BLEND_SECRET_KEY=change_this_to_a_random_string
+BLEND_PORT=8081
+BLEND_HOST=127.0.0.1
+VALKEY_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
+```
+
+For API provider configuration, copy or reference
+`admin_config.example.json` and keep the real `admin_config.json` local only.
+
+Never commit:
+
+- `.env`
+- `admin_config.json`
+- private keys
+- local credentials
+- local config overrides
+
+These files are covered by `.gitignore`.
+
+## Useful Endpoints
+
+When running locally:
+
+```text
+GET  /                       # Home page
+GET  /results.html?q=blend   # Frontend results page
+GET  /api/search?q=blend     # JSON search API
+POST /api/ai                 # Navar AI endpoint
+GET  /autocompleter?q=blend  # Autocomplete
+GET  /ping                   # Health check
+```
+
+## Public Release Security
+
+This public release is intended to include only placeholder configuration for
+API keys and secrets.
+
+Before publishing changes, run a local secret scan against the working tree and
+commit history. For example, use a tool such as `gitleaks`, `trufflehog`, or a
+project-specific `grep`/`rg` pattern list stored outside the repository.
+
+The public repository should not contain live API keys, private tokens, local
+admin configuration, or secret-looking default values.
+
+## Development Notes
+
+- Keep user-facing UI changes in `frontend/`.
+- Keep search source behavior in `backend/blend_core/sources/`.
+- Keep runtime-only secrets in `.env` or ignored local config files.
+- Prefer environment variables for keys, hostnames, ports, and provider tokens.
+- Do not commit generated caches, virtual environments, or local admin config.
