Markus Heiser 5720844fcd [doc] rearranges Settings & Engines docs for better readability
We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years.  However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.

This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.

To review new ordered docs::

searx

SearXNG supports {{engines | length}} search engines of which {{enabled_engine_count}} are enabled by default.

Engines can be assigned to multiple categories <engine categories>. The UI displays the tabs that are configured in categories_as_tabs <settings categories_as_tabs>. In addition to these UI categories (also called tabs), engines can be queried by their name or the categories they belong to, by using a \!bing syntax <search-syntax>.

searx

{% for category, engines in categories_as_tabs.items() %}

tab !{{category.replace(' ', '_')}}

{% for group, group_bang, engines in engines | group_engines_in_tab %}

{% if loop.length > 1 %} {% if group_bang %}group {{group_bang}}{% else %}{{group}}{% endif %} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {% endif %}
