…ia SearXNG Captcha HTML from DDG Lite (HTTP 202) and Mojeek was parsed as a successful empty result, so the pool looked healthy while only Bing ranked. The degraded score-floor then kept Bing's brand homepage because lexical alignment was ~0.17, not exactly 0, and hybrid fallback never fired. Throw on captcha/202, drop low-lexical survivors on a collapsed pool, add a hybrid rescue signal for that shape, and honor search_engines on the core orchestrator.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Some searches can return results from engines the caller did not select, while degraded searches can lose relevant results. These issues should be fixed before merging; the narrower captcha false positive should also be addressed. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Search recovery is improved, but the new engine-selection behavior is not consistently preserved by cached results or hybrid fallback. A caller requesting particular engines may receive results from others. The security significance depends on whether engine selection is used as a source or data-handling control. Retained concerns

Include search_engines in the cache key.
A request can reuse results cached for the same query with a different engine filter because buildSearchCacheKey omits search_engines. On a fresh cache hit, the provider skips this dispatch and returns the cached results and engines_used without applying the requested filter. Add a normalized engine filter to the cache key so requests with different filters cannot share an entry.

Apply searchEngines to partial-starvation backfill.
When a filtered non-general search returns fewer than three results, Line 699 loads the full general roster. The subsequent dispatch can run engines outside searchEngines and include their results. Apply the same filter to the general backfill roster before dispatch.

Consider the next eligible result after rejecting a low-lexical result.
With a degraded pool, a floor of 0.05, and results scored (0.04, lex 0.17) and (0.03, lex 0.55), this gate rejects the first result’s top-1 exemption. Line 131 then disables the exemption without considering the aligned second result. With perEngineKeep: 1, the rescue loop also examines only the first candidate from that engine. Both results are dropped, although the pool is not entirely low-lexical. Select top-1 and rescue candidates from lexically eligible results.

Scope captcha markers to challenge-page elements.
If a successful DDG Lite or Mojeek response contains hcaptcha in a result title, URL, or snippet within its first 8,000 characters, isCaptchaHtml matches it before parsing. Both engines then throw a captcha error and discard otherwise parsable results. Match these markers against challenge widgets or forms in page context. Preserve specific host and iframe checks, and require a challenge-page skeleton for generic widget markers.

Problem
On long informational queries (e.g.
NIST AI RMF Generative AI Profile NIST AI 600-1,Michigan Wolverines 2026 football schedule official) core search returned brand homepages (nist.gov,michigan.org) while a local SearXNG instance found the official PDF / schedule.Three stacked bugs:
<title>Captcha</title>parsed asoutcome=okwith 0 results. The pool looked healthy while only Bing produced hits.lexical_alignment === 0. Live junk was lex ~0.17 / score ~0.02, so Bing's homepage survived.ok:false, or top-1 score ≥ 0.99. A collapsed pool with one low-lex homepage fired none of them.search_engineswas also a no-op on the core orchestrator.Change
degraded_pool_low_lexicalruns SearXNG when the pool collapsed to 0–1 low-confidence results.search_engines(fail-open if the filter matches nothing, same as the SearXNG path).Tests

This is the code fix. Operators already on
WIGOLO_SEARCH=hybrid(with SearXNG available) get the rescue automatically.WIGOLO_SEARCH=corestill needs hybrid (orsearxng) for the fallback path; captcha-as-error and the score-floor change help either way.Summary by CodeRabbit
