Partial reverse engineering of the Google engines including a improved language
and region handling based on the engine.traits_v1 data.
When ever possible the implementations of the Google engines try to make use of
the async REST APIs. The get_lang_info() has been generalized to a
get_google_info() function / especially the region handling has been improved by
adding the cr parameter.
searx/data/engine_traits.json
Add data type "traits_v1" generated by the fetch_traits() functions from:
- Google (WEB),
- Google images,
- Google news,
- Google scholar and
- Google videos
and remove data from obsolete data type "supported_languages".
A traits.custom type that maps region codes to *supported_domains* is fetched
from https://www.google.com/supported_domains
searx/autocomplete.py:
Reversed engineered autocomplete from Google WEB. Supports Google's languages and
subdomains. The old API suggestqueries.google.com/complete has been replaced
by the async REST API: https://{subdomain}/complete/search?{args}
searx/engines/google.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- always use the async REST API (formally known as 'use_mobile_ui')
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- improved the result list by fetching './/div[@data-content-feature]'
and parsing the type of the various *content features* --> thumbnails are
added
searx/engines/google_images.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- if exists, freshness_date is added to the result
- issue 1864: result list has been improved a lot (due to the new cr parameter)
searx/engines/google_news.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
*supported_domains* is not needed but a ceid list has been added.
- different region handling compared to Google WEB
- fixed for various languages & regions (due to the new ceid parameter) /
avoid CONSENT page
- Google News do no longer support time range
- result list has been fixed: XPath of pub_date and pub_origin
searx/engines/google_videos.py
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- add paging support
- implement a async request ('asearch': 'arc' & 'async':
'use_ac:true,_fmt:html')
- simplified code (thanks to '_fmt:html' request)
- issue 1359: fixed xpath of video length data
searx/engines/google_scholar.py
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- request(): include patents & citations
- response(): fixed CAPTCHA detection (Scholar has its own CATCHA manager)
- hardening XPath to iterate over results
- fixed XPath of pub_type (has been change from gs_ct1 to gs_cgt2 class)
- issue 1769 fixed: new request implementation is no longer incompatible

Implementations of the *traits* of the engines.
Engine's traits are fetched from the origin engine and stored in a JSON file in
the *data folder*. Most often traits are languages and region codes and their
mapping from SearXNG's representation to the representation in the origin search
engine.
To load traits from the persistence::
searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraitsMap.from_data()
For new traits new properties can be added to the class::
searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraits
.. hint::
Implementation is downward compatible to the deprecated *supported_languages
method* from the vintage implementation.
The vintage code is tagged as *deprecated* an can be removed when all engines
has been ported to the *traits method*.

When the user choose "Auto-detected", the choice remains on the following queries.
The detected language is displayed.
For example "Auto-detected (en)":
* the next query language is going to be auto detected
* for the current query, the detected language is English.
This replace the autodetect_search_language plugin.
settings.yml:
* The default URL was unix:///usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock?db=0
* The default URL is now "false"
The default URL makes the log difficult to deal with:
if the admin didn't install a Redis instance, the logs record a false error.
It worked before because SearXNG initialized the Redis connection when the limiter started.
In this commit, SearXNG initializes Redis in searx/webapp.py
so various components can use Redis without taking care of the initialization step.
Most engines that support languages (and regions) use the Accept-Language from
the WEB browser to build a response that fits to the language (and region).
- add new engine option: send_accept_language_header

This commits update the checker code according to
this function signature change.
* allow not to record metrics (response time, etc...)
* this commit doesn't change the UI. If the metrics are disabled
/stats and /stats/errors will return empty response.
in /preferences, the columns response time and reliability will be empty.
Disable the python code formatting from python-black, where the readability of
code suffers by formatting.

Currently, searx.search.Search calls on_result once the engine results have been merged
(ResultContainer.order_results).
on_result plugins can rewrite the results: once the URL(s) are modified, even they can be merged,
it won't be the case since ResultContainer.order_results has already be called.
This commit call on_result inside for each result of each engines.
In addition the on_result function can return False to remove the result.
Note: the on_result function now run on the engine thread instead of the Flask thread.

it prepares the new architecture change,
everything about multithreading in moved in the searx.search.* packages
previously the call to the "init" function of the engines was done in searx.engines:
* the network was not set (request not sent using the defined proxy)
* it requires to monkey patch the code to avoid HTTP requests during the tests
* display the median time instead of the average.
* add a "Reliability" column (sum up the metrics and the checker results).
* the "selected language", "SafeSearch", "Time range" values are displayed as "broken" when the checker tests fail.
Some error won't stop the engine:
* additional HTTP redirects for example
* some invalid results
secondary=True allows to flag these errors as not important.
Report to the user suspended engines.
searx.search.processor.abstract:
* manages suspend time (per network).
* reports suspended time to the ResultContainer (method extend_container_if_suspended)
* adds the results to the ResultContainer (method extend_container)
* handles exceptions (method handle_exception)
settings.yml:
* outgoing.networks:
* can contains network definition
* propertiers: enable_http, verify, http2, max_connections, max_keepalive_connections,
keepalive_expiry, local_addresses, support_ipv4, support_ipv6, proxies, max_redirects, retries
* retries: 0 by default, number of times searx retries to send the HTTP request (using different IP & proxy each time)
* local_addresses can be "192.168.0.1/24" (it supports IPv6)
* support_ipv4 & support_ipv6: both True by default
see https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/1034
* each engine can define a "network" section:
* either a full network description
* either reference an existing network
* all HTTP requests of engine use the same HTTP configuration (it was not the case before, see proxy configuration in master)
