    The implementation of the redis counter is the lua script from string
    :py:obj:`INCR_SLIDING_WINDOW`.  The lua script uses `sorted sets in Redis`_
    to implement a sliding window for the redis key ``SearXNG_counter_<name>``
    (ZADD_).  The current TIME_ is used to score the items in the sorted set and
    the time window is moved by removing items with a score lower current time
    minus *duration* time (ZREMRANGEBYSCORE_).

    The EXPIRE_ time (the duration of the sliding window) is refreshed on each
    call (incrementation) and if there is no call in this duration, the sorted
    set expires from the redis DB.

    The return value is the amount of items in the sorted set (ZCOUNT_), what
    means the number of calls in the sliding window.
