[Querit.ai](https://www.querit.ai/en/docs/reference/post)\n  - [You.com](https://docs.you.com/api-reference/search/v1-search)\n  - [Tavily.com](https://docs.tavily.com/documentation/api-reference/introduction)\n  - [Exa.ai](https://docs.exa.ai/reference/search)\n  - [Parallel.ai](https://docs.parallel.ai/api-reference/search-beta/search)\n  - [Baidu.com](https://cloud.baidu.com/doc/qianfan/s/2mh4su4uy)\n  - [Brave.com](https://api-dashboard.search.brave.com/api-reference/web/search/get)\n  - [Serper.dev](https://serper.dev)\n  - You can add more generic Search APIs via configuration\n* **SearchAPIWebUI Arena**: Compare two search providers side-by-side to benchmark latency, response size, and result relevance.\n* **Performance Metrics**: Real-time display of request latency and response size.\n* **Visual Rendering**: Renders standard search results (Title, URL, SiteName, SiteIcon, PageAge, Snippet) in a clean card layout.\n* **Configurable**: Easy-to-edit `providers.yaml` to add or modify search providers.\n* **Secure**: API Keys are stored locally in your $HOME folder.\n\n## Installation\n\n### macOS Installation\n\nFor macOS users, you can download the DMG installer from the GitHub Releases page:\n\n1. Visit the [Releases page](https://github.com/querit-ai/search-api-webui/releases)\n2. Download the appropriate DMG file for your Mac architecture:\n   - **Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)**: `SearchAPIWebUI-\u003cversion\u003e-macOS-arm64.dmg`\n   - **Intel Macs**: `SearchAPIWebUI-\u003cversion\u003e-macOS-x86_64.dmg`\n3. Open the DMG file and drag `SearchAPIWebUI` to your Applications folder\n4. Launch `SearchAPIWebUI` from Applications\n\n**Note**: Since the application is not code-signed, macOS may block it on first launch. To allow it to run:\n- Go to **System Settings** \u003e **Privacy \u0026 Security**\n- Look for the message about `SearchAPIWebUI` being blocked\n- Click **Open Anyway** to allow the application to run\n\n### Windows Installation\n\nFor Windows users, you can download the installer from the GitHub Releases page:\n\n1. Visit the [Releases page](https://github.com/querit-ai/search-api-webui/releases)\n2. Download the appropriate Setup file for your Windows system:\n   - **64-bit Windows** (most common): `SearchAPIWebUI-\u003cversion\u003e-Windows-x64-Setup.exe`\n   - **32-bit Windows** (legacy): `SearchAPIWebUI-\u003cversion\u003e-Windows-x86-Setup.exe`\n3. Run the Setup executable and follow the installation wizard\n4. Launch `SearchAPIWebUI` from the Start Menu or Desktop shortcut\n\n**Note**:\n- The installer requires .NET Framework 4.5 or later (usually pre-installed on Windows 8+)\n- Windows Defender SmartScreen may show a warning for unsigned applications. Click \"More info\" → \"Run anyway\" to proceed\n\n### Android Installation\n\nFor Android users, you can download the APK from the GitHub Releases page:\n\n1. Visit the [Releases page](https://github.com/querit-ai/search-api-webui/releases)\n2. Download the APK file: `SearchAPIWebUI-\u003cversion\u003e-android-release.apk`\n3. Enable \"Install from unknown sources\" in your device settings:\n   - Go to **Settings** \u003e **Security** \u003e **Unknown sources**\n   - Or on newer Android versions: **Settings** \u003e **Apps** \u003e **Special app access** \u003e **Install unknown apps**\n4. Open the downloaded APK file to install\n5. Launch `SearchAPIWebUI` from your app drawer\n\n**Requirements**:\n- Android 5.0 (API 21) or later\n- arm64-v8a architecture (covers 95%+ of modern Android devices)\n- Internet permission (required for API calls)\n\n**Note**: The app is signed with QUERIT PRIVATE LIMITED release certificate for security.\n\n### Install via Pip\n\nUse this method if you just want to run the tool without modifying the code.\n\n```\npip install search-api-webui\n```\n\n### Run the Server\n\n```\nsearch-api-webui\n```\n\n## Development\n\nUse this method if you want to contribute to the code or build from source.\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n* Python 3.8+\n* Node.js \u0026 npm (for building the frontend)\n\n### Quick Start with Makefile\n\n**Clone the repository**\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/querit-ai/search-api-webui.git\ncd search-api-webui\n```\n\n**Development Mode** (with hot reload)\n\n```bash\nmake dev\n```\n\nThis will:\n- Set up Python virtual environment and install dependencies\n- Install frontend dependencies (node_modules)\n- Start Flask backend on http://localhost:8889 with hot reload\n- Start Vite frontend dev server on http://localhost:5173\n- Automatically open your browser\n- Enable hot module replacement for instant updates\n\n**Build Python Wheel**\n\n```bash\nmake              # or 'make all'\n```\n\n**Build macOS DMG** (macOS only)\n\n```bash\nmake dmg          # Builds DMG for your current architecture (incl. .app build)\nmake build-app    # Build only the .app bundle (without DMG)\n# Override architecture if needed:\nmake ARCH=arm64 dmg   # Force Apple Silicon build\nmake ARCH=x86_64 dmg  # Force Intel build (requires x86_64 Python)\n```\n\n**Build Android APK** (requires Docker or Linux with Buildozer)\n\n```bash\nmake apk-debug     # Build debug APK\nmake apk-release   # Build release APK (requires keystore)\n```\n\n**Prerequisites for Android Build**:\n- Linux environment or macOS with Docker\n- Buildozer (`pip install buildozer`)\n- Android SDK and NDK (automatically downloaded by Buildozer)\n- For release builds: Android keystore file and signing credentials\n\nThe APK will be created in the `bin/` directory.\n\n### Manual Setup\n\nIf you prefer not to use Makefile:\n\n**Build Frontend**\n\n```bash\ncd frontend\nnpm install\nnpm run build\ncd ..\n```\n\n**Install search-api-webui (Editable Mode)**\n\n```bash\npip install -e .\n```\n\n**Run the Server**\n\n```bash\npython -m search_api_webui.app\n```\n\n### Available Make Commands\n\n```bash\nmake              # Build Python wheel package (default)\nmake dev          # Start development servers with hot reload\nmake dmg          # Build macOS DMG for current architecture\nmake exe          # Build Windows installer for current architecture\nmake apk-debug    # Build Android debug APK\nmake apk-release  # Build Android release APK (requires keystore)\nmake clean        # Clean build artifacts\nmake clean-all    # Clean everything including virtual environment\nmake help         # Show all available commands\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\n### Add API Keys\n\nOpen the WebUI settings page (click the gear icon).
