Startpage has introduced new anti-scraping measures that make SearXNG instances
run into captchas:
1. some arguments has been removed and a new `sc` has been added.
2. search path changed from `do/search` to `sp/search`
3. POST request is no longer needed

The implementation of the etools engine is poor. No date-range support, no
language support and it is broken by a CAPTCHA.
etools is a metasearch engine, the major search engines it supports (google,
bing, wikipedia, Yahoo) are already available in SeaarXNG.
While etools does support several engines we currently don't support directly,
support for them should be added directly to SearXNG if there is demand.
In practice: in SearXNG the worse etools results will be mixed with good results
from other engines we have (as long as there is no captcha).
At best case, what we win with etools is in e.g. results from de.ask.com in a
query from a german request .. in all other cases worse results are bubble up in
SearXNG's result list.

The previous implementation used two hash sets and a list.
... that's not necessary ... a single hash map suffices.
And it's also less error prone ... because the previous data structure
allowed a setting to be enabled and disabled at the same time.
Previously the default_value was abused for the cookie name.
Having SwitchableSetting subclass Setting doesn't even make sense
in the first place since none of the Setting methods apply.
The ? search operator has been broken for some time and
currently only raises the question why it's still there.
## Context ##
The query "Paris !images" searches for "Paris" in the "images" category.
Once upon a time Searx supported "Paris ?images" to search for "Paris"
in the currently enabled categories and the "images" category.
The feature makes sense ... the ? syntax does not.
We will hopefully introduce a +!images syntax in the future.
Fixes#702.
* 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.
The tab icon names are currently hard coded in the templates.
This commit lets us introduce an icon property in the future, e.g:
categories_as_tabs:
general:
icon: search-outline
These dictionaries are no longer part of the general category,
so they're no longer queried by default -> we can enable them
by default without degrading general query performance.
The general category is the category that is searched by default.
From a privacy standpoint it doesn't make sense to send all general
queries to specialized search engines that cannot deal with those
queries anyway.
Previously we didn't have a good place to put search engines that don't
fit into any of the tab categories. This commit automatically puts
search engines that don't belong to any tab category in an "other"
category, that is only displayed in the user preferences (and not above
search results).
Add a redis connector, the default DB connector is a socket at::

Previously all categories were displayed as search engine tabs.
This commit changes that so that only the categories listed under
categories_as_tabs in settings.yml are displayed.
This lets us introduce more categories without cluttering up the UI.
Categories not displayed as tabs can still be searched with !bangs.
Add event listener to query selector::
'#urls img.image'
From the user point of view, I think it is better to hide the image:
img_load_error.svg is helplful in the image category because it still allows to
select the image. IMO, in the news category, the fact there is a missing image
won't help to choose the links. From a developer point of view, the place holder
is signal that may be the engine needs to be updated (at least give a look). The
browser console should show the same information too, but it requires some
additional steps. [1]

Include the source files directly in the `.map` files [1] for two reasons:
1. In the simple theme, modules from `./node_modules` are only available on
developer's build host (a `make node.env` is needed to get the sources). By
example; in the `searxng.min.js.map` file, the `autocomplete.js` is linked at
URL:
../node_modules/autocomplete-js/dist/autocomplete.js
2. Later, when client sources has been moved out of the `./static` URL [2] to
the `<repo-roo>/src` folder, all JS sources are no longer available.
Drawback: `.map` files grow up in size, but this should not bother, because the
files are only loaded in debug mode.

The key of the dictionary 'searx.data.ENGINES_LANGUAGES' is the *engine name*
configured in settings.xml. When multiple engines are configured to use the
same origin engine (e.g. `engine: google`)::
- name: google
engine: google
use_mobile_ui: false
...
- name: google italian
engine: google
use_mobile_ui: false
language: it
...
- name: google mobile ui
engine: google
shortcut: gomui
use_mobile_ui: true
There exists no entry for ENGINES_LANGUAGES[engine.name] (e.g. `name: google
mobile ui` or `name: google italian`). This issue can be solved by recreate the
ENGINES_LANGUAGES::
make data.languages
But this is nothing an SearXNG admin would like to do when just configuring
additional engines, since this just doubles entries in ENGINES_LANGUAGES and
BTW: `make data.languages` has various external requirements which might be not
installed or not available, on a production host.
With this patch, if engine.name fails, ENGINES_LANGUAGES[engine.engine] is used
to get the engine.supported_languages (e.g. `google` for the engine named
`google mobile`).
For an engine, when there is `language: ...` in the YAML settings, the engine
supports only one language, in this case engine.supported_languages should
contains this value defined in settings.yml (e.g. `it` for the engine named
`google italian`).

This property raises a RuntimeError if the attributes _request is None.
To avoid a cascade of errors, this commit reads directly the _request attribute.

the openstreetmap engine imports code from the wikidata engine.
before this commit, specific code make sure to copy the logger variable to the wikidata engine.
with this commit searx.engines.load_engine makes sure the .logger is initialized.
The implementation scans sys.modules for module name starting with searx.engines.
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.
close#298
This is a workaround: inside engine code, any call to function in another engine can crash
since the logger won't be initialized except if it is done explicitly.
Instead of raising an exception and therefore hiding all results of the engine.
It make sense to remove that requirement in order to allow the implementation of
search engines that do not always have a description. In fact some search
engines that in 99% of the case have a description like Brave Search or Mojeek
crash completely if they for some reason included a result with no description.
To test this patch try Mojeek:

Tasks running outside of an *installed instance*, need the following settings
from the YAML configuration:
- GIT_URL <--> brand.git_url
- GIT_BRANCH <--> brand.git_branch
- SEARX_URL <--> server.base_url (aka PUBLIC_URL)
- SEARX_PORT <--> server.port
- SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS <--> server.bind_address

modified docs/admin/engines/settings.rst
- Fix documentation and add section 'brand'.
- Add remarks about **buildenv** variables.
- Add remarks about settings from environment variables $SEARX_DEBUG,
$SEARX_PORT, $SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS and $SEARX_SECRET
modified docs/admin/installation-searx.rst & docs/build-templates/searx.rst
Fix template location /templates/etc/searx/settings.yml
modified docs/dev/makefile.rst
Add description of the 'make buildenv' target and describe
- we have all SearXNG setups are centralized in the settings.yml file
- why some tasks need a utils/brand.env (aka instance's buildenv)
modified manage
Settings file from repository's working tree are used by default and
ask user if a /etc/searx/settings.yml file exists.
modified searx/settings.yml
Add comments about when it is needed to run 'make buildenv'
modified searx/settings_defaults.py
Default for server:port is taken from enviroment variable SEARX_PORT.
modified utils/build_env.py
- Some defaults in the settings.yml are taken from the environment,
e.g. SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS (searx.settings_defaults.SHEMA). When the
'brand.env' file is created these enviroment variables should be
unset first.
- The CONTACT_URL enviroment is not needed in the utils/brand.env

The usages of the searx.brand namespace has been removed, the searx.brand
namespace is now longer needed.
The searx.brand namespace was an interim solution which has been added in commit
9e53470b4, see commit message there ...
This patch is a first 'proof of concept'. Later we can decide to remove the
brand namespace entirely or not.

In the templates and the /config (JSON) the usage of the 'brand.*' name
space is replaced by 'searx.get_setting' function.
- new_issue_url --> get_setting('brand.new_issue_url')
- brand.GIT_URL --> get_setting('brand.git_url')
- brand.PUBLIC_INSTANCES --> get_setting('brand.public_instances')
- brand.DOCS_URL --> get_setting('brand.docs_url')
- brand.ISSUE_URL --> get_setting('brand.issue_url')
- brand.CONTACT_URL --> get_setting('general.contact_url', '')
The macro 'new_issue' from searx/templates/*/messages/no_results.html
is now imported with context::
{% from '__common__/new_issue.html' import new_issue with context %}
To get *public instances URL* from context's 'get_setting()' function::
get_setting('brand.public_instances','')
Macro's prototype does no longer need the 'new_issue_url' argument and has been
changed to::
macro new_issue(engine_name, engine_reliability)

Added function searx.get_setting(name, default=_unset):
Returns the value to which ``name`` point. If there is no such name in the
settings and the ``default`` is unset, a KeyError exception is raised.
In all the python processes ..
- make docs
- make buildenv
- make install (setup.py)
the usage of the 'brand.*' name space is replaced by 'searx.get_setting'
function.
- brand.SEARX_URL --> get_setting('server.base_url')
- brand.GIT_URL --> get_setting('brand.git_url')
- brand.GIT_BRANCH' --> get_setting('server.base_url')
- brand.ISSUE_URL --> get_setting('brand.issue_url')
- brand.DOCS_URL --> get_setting('brand.docs_url')
- brand.PUBLIC_INSTANCES --> get_setting('brand.public_instances')
- brand.CONTACT_URL --> get_setting('general.contact_url', '')
- brand.WIKI_URL --> get_setting('brand.wiki_url')
- brand.TWITTER_URL --> get_setting('brand.twitter_url', '')

Qwant is a fast and reliable search engine and AFAIK there is no CAPTCHA. Let
us enable Qwant engines by default.
Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>
The implementation uses the Qwant API (https://api.qwant.com/v3). The API is
undocumented but can be reverse engineered by reading the network log of
https://www.qwant.com/ queries.
This implementation is used by different qwant engines in the settings.yml::
- name: qwant
categories: general
...
- name: qwant news
categories: news
...
- name: qwant images
categories: images
...
- name: qwant videos
categories: videos

The engine was added in commit a4b07460 but now it shows new issues [1].
In the 90'th of the last century, dogpile had its own WEB index, but nowadays it
is a meta-search engine [2]
Powered by technology, Dogpile returns all the best results from leading
search engines including Google and Yahoo!
Using dogpile as an engine in SearXNG needs more investigation, a XPath solution
like we have is not enough. It is questionable whether it still makes sense to
investigate more into a meta-search engine with a ReCAPTCHA in front.
With this patch the dogpile engine is removed
