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
* !g a DDG bang for Google: DDG return a HTTP redirect to Google
This commit adds a the allows_redirect param not to follow HTTP redirect.
The DDG engine returns a empty result as before without HTTP redirect.
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.
This commit remove the variable definition in the engines, and
set value according to supported_languages length: False when the length is 0,
True otherwise.

Avoid SearxEngineXPathException errors when parsing non valid results::

BTW: make the engines ready for search.checker:
- replace eval_xpath by eval_xpath_getindex and eval_xpath_list
- google_images: remove outer try/except block

The 'video.html' template from the 'oscar' design supports replacement
for *author* and *length*. Google-videos does not have an author, alternatively
the publisher info from is used for the *author*.
Hint: these replacements are not supported by the 'simple' design.

First the method searx call the get_params method.
If the return value is not None, then the searx call the method search.
check HTTP response:
* detect some comme CAPTCHA challenge (no solving). In this case the engine is suspended for long a time.
* otherwise raise HTTPError as before
the check is done in poolrequests.py (was before in search.py).
update qwant, wikipedia, wikidata to use raise_for_httperror instead of raise_for_status
before commit 58d72f2, category was not set in xpath.py,
so searx/engines/__init__py was setting the category to ['general']
the commit 58d72f2 set the category to [] which is not replaced by searx/engines/__init__.py
consequence: the mojeek engine is hidden in the preferences.
this commit revert the xpath.py change.
