I’m interested in setting up SearXNG, so had a look at the public instances. What I found is that the search results page don’t contain widgets.

For example in DDG, when I search for “restaurant x” I get a widget with information about restaurant x with e.g. the phone number & reviews and an option to call.

In Google I see widgets even more, e.g. when searching for “game review” I get a widget with all reviews for that game.

SearXNG results page is just a list of results and I miss the widgets. I had a look if there are plugins, but couldn’t find any. Is there any way to add widgets like above examples?

Maybe consider using a launcher for that, like albertlauncher (Linux) or ueli (Windows).

Is there a way to implement that in Gnome search? It can do small calculations. I have used KDE’s search it could do currency as well.
