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::

In the EU there exists a "General Data Protection Regulation" [1] aka GDPR (BTW:
very user friendly!) which requires consent to tracking. To get the consent
from the user, google-news requests are redirected to confirm and get a CONSENT
Cookie from https://consent.google.de/s?continue=...
This patch adds a CONSENT Cookie to the google-news request to avoid
redirection.
The behavior of the CONTENTS cookies over all google engines seems similar but
the pattern is not yet fully clear to me, here are some random samples from my
analysis ..
Using common google search from different domains::
google.com: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+816
google.de: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+333
google.fr: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.fr+FX+826
When searching about videos (google-videos)::
google.es: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.es+FX+076
google.de: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.de+FX+171
Google news has only one domain for all languages::
news.google.com: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+816
Using google-scholar search from different domains::
scholar.google.de: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+333
scholar.google.fr: does not use such a cookie / did not ask the user
scholar.google.es: does not use such a cookie / did not ask the user
Interim summary:
Pattern is unclear and I won't apply the CONSENT cookie to all google engines.
More experience is need before we generalize the CONSENT cookies over all
google engines.

Same behaviour behaviour than Whoogle [1]. Only the google engine with the
"Default language" choice "(all)"" is changed by this patch.
When searching for a locate place, the result are in the expect language,
without missing results [2]:
> When a language is not specified, the language interpretation is left up to
> Google to decide how the search results should be delivered.
The query parameters are copied from Whoogle. With the ``all`` language:
- add parameter ``source=lnt``
- don't use parameter ``lr``
- don't add a ``Accept-Language`` HTTP header.
The new signature of function ``get_lang_info()`` is:
lang_info = get_lang_info(params, lang_list, custom_aliases, supported_any_language)
Argument ``supported_any_language`` is True for google.py and False for the other
google engines. With this patch the function now returns:
- query parameters: ``lang_info['params']``
- HTTP headers: ``lang_info['headers']``
- and as before this patch:
- ``lang_info['subdomain']``
- ``lang_info['country']``
- ``lang_info['language']``

Bing has a list of regions that it supports and some of these regions
may have more than one possible language.
In some cases, like Switzerland, these languages are always shown as
options, so there is no issue. But in other cases, like Andorra, Bing
will only show one language at the time, either the region's default or
the request's language if the latter is supported by that region.
For example, if the HTTP request is in French, Andorra will appear as
fr-AD but if the same page is requested in any other language Andorra
will appear as ca-AD.
This is specially a problem when Bing assumes that the request is in
English because it overrides enough language codes to make several major
languages like Arabic dissappear from the languages.py file.
To avoid that issue, I set the Accept-Language header to a language
that's only supported in one region to hopefully avoid these overrides.
At the moment videos without a description are not shown - setting
default content to "" fixes this.
Another current bug is that thumbnails are not displayed. This is caused
by a double slash in the url. For this every trailing slash is now
stripped (for backwards compatibility) and the API response is correctly
parsed.
* searx understand "!ddg !g time" as : send "!g time" to DDG

on some queries (like an IT error message), wikipedia returns an HTTP error 400.
this commit returns an empty result instead of showing an error to the user.
Some JSON API returns HTML in either in the HTML or the content.
This commit adds two new parameters to the json_engine:
content_html_to_text and title_html_to_text, False by default.
If True, then the searx.utils.html_to_text removes the HTML tags.
Update crossref, openairedatasets and openairepublications engines
The language_support variable is set to True by default,
and set to False in only 5 engines.
Except the documentation and the /config URL, this variable is not used.

set value according to supported_languages length: False when the length is 0,
True otherwise.

A new "base" engine called command is introduced. It is the foundation for all command line engines for now.
You can use this engine to create your own command line engine.
Add some engines (commented out to make sure no one enables anything accidentally):
* git grep: This engine lets you grep in the searx repo.
* locate: If locate is installed and initialized, you can search on the FS.
* find: You can find files with a specific name from where you started searx.
* pattern search in files: This engine utilizes the command fgrep.
* regex search in files: This engine runs `grep` to find a file based on its contents.
and some other exceptions:
* KeyboardInterrupt
* SystemExit
* RuntimeError
* SystemError
* ImportError: an engine with an unmet dependency will stop everything.
A new option is added to engines to hide error messages from users. It
is called `display_error_messages` and by default it is set to `True`.
If it is set to `False` error messages do not show up on the UI.
Keep in mind that engines are still suspended if needed regardless of
this setting.

This PR fixes the result count from bing which was throwing an (hidden) error and add a validation to avoid reading more results than avalaible.
For example :
If there is 100 results from some search and we try to get results from 120 to 130, Bing will send back the results from 0 to 10 and no error. If we compare results count with the first parameter of the request we can avoid this "invalid" results.
Characters that were not ASCII were incorrectly decoded.

* Search URL is https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?{query}&ns0=1 (with ns0=1 at the end to avoid an HTTP redirection)
* url_detail: remove the disabletidy=1 deprecated parameter
* Add eval_xpath function: compile once for all xpath.
* Add get_id_cache: retrieve all HTML with an id, avoid the slow to procress dynamic xpath '//div[@id="{propertyid}"]'.replace('{propertyid}')
* Create an etree.HTMLParser() instead of using the global one (see #1575)
