Partial reverse engineering of the DuckDuckGo (DDG) engines including a
improved language and region handling based on the enigne.traits_v1 data.
- DDG Lite
- DDG Instant Answer API
- DDG Images
- DDG Weather
docs/src/searx.engine.duckduckgo.rst:
Online documentation of the DDG engines (make docs.live)
searx/data/engine_traits.json
Add data type "traits_v1" generated by the fetch_traits() functions from:
- "duckduckgo" (WEB),
- "duckduckgo images" and
- "duckduckgo weather"
and remove data from obsolete data type "supported_languages".
searx/autocomplete.py:
Reversed engineered Autocomplete from DDG. Supports DDG's languages.
searx/engines/duckduckgo.py:
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from DDG.
- get_ddg_lang(): Get DDG's language identifier from SearXNG's locale. DDG
defines its languages by region codes. DDG-Lite does not offer a language
selection to the user, only a region can be selected by the user.
- Cache ``vqd`` value: The vqd value depends on the query string and is needed
for the follow up pages or the images loaded by a XMLHttpRequest (DDG
images). The ``vqd`` value of a search term is stored for 10min in the
redis DB.
- DDG Lite engine: reversed engineered request method with improved Language
and region support and better ``vqd`` handling.
searx/engines/duckduckgo_definitions.py: DDG Instant Answer API
The *instant answers* API does not support languages, or at least we could not
find out how language support should work. It seems that most of the features
are based on English terms.
searx/engines/duckduckgo_images.py: DDG Images
Reversed engineered request method. Improved language and region handling
based on cookies and the enigne.traits_v1 data. Response: add image format to
the result list
searx/engines/duckduckgo_weather.py: DDG Weather
Improved language and region handling based on cookies and the
enigne.traits_v1 data.

One reason for the often seen CAPTCHA of the Startpage requests are the
incomplete requests SearXNG sends to startpage.com: this patch is a complete new
implementation of the ``request()`` function, reversed engineered from the
Startpage's search form. The new implementation:
- use traits of data_type: traits_v1 and drop deprecated data_type: supported_languages
- adds time-range support
- adds save-search support
- fix searxng/searxng/issues 1884
- fix searxng/searxng/issues 1081 --> improvements to avoid CAPTCHA
In preparation for more categories (News, Images, Videos ..) from Startpage, the
variable ``startpage_categ`` was set up. The default value is ``web`` and other
categories from Startpage are not yet implemented.

BTW this fix an issue in wikipedia: SearXNG's locales zh-TW and zh-HK are now
using language `zh-classical` from wikipedia (and not `zh`).

With the language and region tags from the EngineTraitsMap the handling of
SearXNG's tags of languages and regions has been normalized and is no longer
a *mystery*. The "languages" became "locales" that are supported by babel and
by this, the update_engine_traits.py can be simplified a lot.
Other code places can be simplified as well, but these simplifications
should (respectively can) only be done when none of the engines work with the
deprecated EngineTraits.supported_languages interface anymore.
This commit replaces searx.languages by searx.sxng_locales and fix the naming of
some names from "language" to "locale" (e.g. language_codes --> sxng_locales).

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*.

From the analyse of @9Ninety [1] we know that DDG (and may be other engines / I
have startpage in mind) does some kind of TLS fingerprint to block bots.
This patch shuffles the default ciphers from httpx to avoid a cipher profile
that is known to httpx (and blocked by DDG).

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.
Tineye becomes active as soon as a https:// signature is found in the search
term, but most of the time a reverse image search is not requested when a URL is
specified, often the URL is just from a C&P.
The frequent requests to tineye lead in the end to the SearXNG instance being
blocked by tineye and the user seeing unexpected error messages.
BTW: many maintainers have disabled this engine in their local SearXNG settings.

* fix type in settings.yml: replace suspend_times by suspended_times
* always use delay defined in settings.yml:
* HTTP status 402 and 403: read the value from settings.yml instead of using the hardcoded value of 1 day.
* startpage engine: CAPTCHA suspend the engine for one day instead of one week
* use html input elements instead of buttons for the pagination forms at the bottom of the result page
* move the less section that hides the pagination number widget on mobile to the mobile section
* clean up the less code for styling the numbers of the pagination widget
* fix: add the margin for box results (like in news category) to the bottom of the result to have a margin between pagination widget and article result
Adds to the navigation widget, preserving forward/backward nav, and
inserting a list of clickable page numbers between them.
Phone sized devices continue without this widget as deterministic
display under small screen sizes has not been solved.
The widget is agnostic to the actual amount of pages there are that one
can navigate to and as such shows all plausible, albeit not necessarilly
valid, possibilities.
This widget does not interfere with infinite scroll in any fashion.

This patch is to hardening the parsing of the bing response:
1. To fix [2087] check if the selected result item contains a link, otherwise
skip result item and continue in the result loop. Increment the result
pointer when a result has been added / the enumerate that counts for skipped
items is no longer valid when result items are skipped.
To test the bugfix use: ``!bi :all cerbot``
2. Limit the XPath selection of result items to direct children nodes (list
items ``li``) of the ordered list (``ol``).
To test the selector use: ``!bi :en pontiac aztek wiki``
.. in the result list you should find the wikipedia entry on top,
