Oct 1, 2025In 2025-10, delivered a new Azure resources search engine for SearxNG, enabling enterprise users to search Azure cloud resources directly from SearxNG via the Azure Resource Graph API without requiring portal login. Implemented end-to-end support including authentication, resource querying, and parsing/display of results such as resource groups and other services. This work reduces context switching for cloud admins and accelerates resource discovery across Azure environments. No major bugs reported within this scope; focus remained on feature delivery and integration reliability. The work demonstrates our ability to extend SearxNG with cloud-provider engines to expand search reach and enterprise value.
