I m building a free, self-hosted Tavily alternative , what features matter most to you?

Hey! I'm building OrioSearch , an open-source, self-hosted web search API that's a drop-in replacement for Tavily.

The idea is simple:

Every AI agent needs web search

you shouldn't have to pay lot of money for search in your AI agents when you can own the whole stack.

What it does today:

• Tavily-compatible API ,swap one URL, everything works

• Web search + image search via SearXNG (70+ engines)

• AI-generated answers with source citations (bring any LLM)

• Content extraction from any URL

• SSE streaming, Redis caching, result reranking

• Deploy with docker compose up in 30 seconds

What I'm deciding next — would love your input:

1. Browser automation (scrape JS-rendered pages)?

2. Built-in scheduled/recurring searches?

3. A web dashboard for monitoring queries and cache stats?

4. SDK packages (Python, TypeScript)?

Which of these would you actually use? Or is there something else entirely that would make you switch from Tavily/Serper?
