+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Development (Local NestJS + Docker SearXNG/Redis)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Start SearXNG and Redis
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
+
+# 2. Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# 3. Start NestJS in watch mode
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+### Production (Full Docker)
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Search
+
+```bash
+# Web search
+POST /api/v1/search
+{
+  "query": "quantum computing",
+  "options": {
+    "categories": ["general", "science"],
+    "engines": ["google", "wikipedia"],
+    "language": "de-DE",
+    "limit": 10
+  }
+}
+
+# Get available engines
+GET /api/v1/search/engines
+
+# Search health check
+GET /api/v1/search/health
+
+# Clear search cache
+DELETE /api/v1/search/cache
+```
+
+### Extract
+
+```bash
+# Extract content from URL
+POST /api/v1/extract
+{
+  "url": "https://example.com/article",
+  "options": {
+    "includeMarkdown": true,
+    "maxLength": 5000
+  }
+}
+
+# Bulk extract (max 20 URLs)
+POST /api/v1/extract/bulk
+{
+  "urls": ["https://...", "https://..."],
+  "options": { "includeMarkdown": true },
+  "concurrency": 5
+}
+```
+
+### Health & Metrics
+
+```bash
+# Health check
+GET /health
+
+# Prometheus metrics
+GET /metrics
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `PORT` | 3021 | API port |
+| `SEARXNG_URL` | http://localhost:8080 | SearXNG URL |
+| `SEARXNG_TIMEOUT` | 15000 | Search timeout (ms) |
+| `SEARXNG_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE` | de-DE | Default language |
+| `REDIS_HOST` | localhost | Redis host |
+| `REDIS_PORT` | 6379 | Redis port |
+| `CACHE_SEARCH_TTL` | 3600 | Search cache TTL (seconds) |
+| `CACHE_EXTRACT_TTL` | 86400 | Extract cache TTL (seconds) |
+| `EXTRACT_TIMEOUT` | 10000 | Extraction timeout (ms) |
+| `EXTRACT_MAX_LENGTH` | 50000 | Max extracted text length |
+
+### SearXNG Configuration
+
+Edit `searxng/settings.yml` to:
+- Enable/disable search engines
+- Configure rate limits
+- Set default language
+- Adjust timeouts
+
+## Development Commands
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# Start development server
+pnpm dev
+
+# Build for production
+pnpm build
+
+# Start production server
+pnpm start
+
+# Type checking
+pnpm type-check
+
+# Linting
+pnpm lint
+
+# Run tests
+pnpm test
+```
+
+## Docker Commands
+
+```bash
+# Start all services (production)
+docker-compose up -d
+
+# Start SearXNG + Redis only (development)
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker-compose logs -f
+
+# Stop services
+docker-compose down
+
+# Rebuild
+docker-compose build --no-cache
+```
+
+## Testing the API
+
+```bash
+# Search test
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3021/api/v1/search \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "typescript tutorial"}'
+
+# Extract test
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3021/api/v1/extract \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TypeScript", "options": {"includeMarkdown": true}}'
+
+# Health check
+curl http://localhost:3021/health
+```
+
+## Search Categories
+
+| Category | Engines |
+|----------|---------|
+| `general` | Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Wikipedia |
+| `news` | Google News, Bing News |
+| `science` | arXiv, Google Scholar, PubMed, Semantic Scholar |
+| `it` | GitHub, StackOverflow, NPM, MDN |
+| `images` | Google Images, Bing Images, Unsplash |
+| `videos` | YouTube, Vimeo, PeerTube |
+
+## Integration Example
+
+```typescript
+// In another service
+const response = await fetch('http://mana-search:3021/api/v1/search', {
+  method: 'POST',
+  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+  body: JSON.stringify({
+    query: 'machine learning basics',
+    options: {
+      categories: ['general', 'science'],
+      limit: 5
+    }
+  })
+});
+
+const { results, meta } = await response.json();
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### SearXNG not responding
+
+```bash
+# Check SearXNG health
+curl http://localhost:8080/healthz
+
+# Check logs
+docker logs mana-searxng-dev
+```
+
+### Redis connection issues
+
+```bash
+# Check Redis
+docker exec mana-search-redis-dev redis-cli ping
+
+# Clear Redis data
+docker exec mana-search-redis-dev redis-cli FLUSHALL
+```
+
+### High memory usage
+
+SearXNG can use significant memory. Adjust `maxmemory` in docker-compose if needed.
