What it is
I built WizSearch to find sound effects, GIFs and short clips while editing videos. It searched several sources from one box and showed previews in one grid. I could keep useful files in a local library. The project is archived.
How it works
The React view sent a query to a Rust host. Source adapters searched public endpoints and returned results to one preview grid. Choosing a file downloaded it and checked for duplicates. SQLite indexed the local collection so I could find it again.

The problem
Reddit search stopped working when its public endpoints returned 403 to unauthenticated requests. I confirmed the failure with both a browser style user agent and a descriptive one. The remaining path needed a per user OAuth credential, which broke the keyless goal. I removed Reddit rather than leave a dead source in the app.
Screenshots
The search grid groups audio results with controls to preview them.
