## Description

Integrates the Brave Search API to provide both web and local search capabilities through a standardized interface. Built with TypeScript and Express, it features automatic fallback from local to web search when needed, detailed metrics collection via Prometheus, and Helm charts for Kubernetes deployment. The implementation includes rate limiting, connection keep-alive for SSE transport, and comprehensive error handling, making it particularly valuable for applications that need privacy-respecting search capabilities without relying on Google.
