Partial reverse engineering of the Google engines including a improved language
and region handling based on the engine.traits_v1 data.
When ever possible the implementations of the Google engines try to make use of
the async REST APIs. The get_lang_info() has been generalized to a
get_google_info() function / especially the region handling has been improved by
adding the cr parameter.
searx/data/engine_traits.json
Add data type "traits_v1" generated by the fetch_traits() functions from:
- Google (WEB),
- Google images,
- Google news,
- Google scholar and
- Google videos
and remove data from obsolete data type "supported_languages".
A traits.custom type that maps region codes to *supported_domains* is fetched
from https://www.google.com/supported_domains
searx/autocomplete.py:
Reversed engineered autocomplete from Google WEB. Supports Google's languages and
subdomains. The old API suggestqueries.google.com/complete has been replaced
by the async REST API: https://{subdomain}/complete/search?{args}
searx/engines/google.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- always use the async REST API (formally known as 'use_mobile_ui')
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- improved the result list by fetching './/div[@data-content-feature]'
and parsing the type of the various *content features* --> thumbnails are
added
searx/engines/google_images.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- if exists, freshness_date is added to the result
- issue 1864: result list has been improved a lot (due to the new cr parameter)
searx/engines/google_news.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
*supported_domains* is not needed but a ceid list has been added.
- different region handling compared to Google WEB
- fixed for various languages & regions (due to the new ceid parameter) /
avoid CONSENT page
- Google News do no longer support time range
- result list has been fixed: XPath of pub_date and pub_origin
searx/engines/google_videos.py
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- add paging support
- implement a async request ('asearch': 'arc' & 'async':
'use_ac:true,_fmt:html')
- simplified code (thanks to '_fmt:html' request)
- issue 1359: fixed xpath of video length data
searx/engines/google_scholar.py
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- request(): include patents & citations
- response(): fixed CAPTCHA detection (Scholar has its own CATCHA manager)
- hardening XPath to iterate over results
- fixed XPath of pub_type (has been change from gs_ct1 to gs_cgt2 class)
- issue 1769 fixed: new request implementation is no longer incompatible

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*.

Most engines that support languages (and regions) use the Accept-Language from
the WEB browser to build a response that fits to the language (and region).
- add new engine option: send_accept_language_header

Disable the python code formatting from python-black, where the readability of
code suffers by formatting.

it prepares the new architecture change,
everything about multithreading in moved in the searx.search.* packages
previously the call to the "init" function of the engines was done in searx.engines:
* the network was not set (request not sent using the defined proxy)
* it requires to monkey patch the code to avoid HTTP requests during the tests
Some error won't stop the engine:
* additional HTTP redirects for example
* some invalid results
secondary=True allows to flag these errors as not important.
Report to the user suspended engines.
searx.search.processor.abstract:
* manages suspend time (per network).
* reports suspended time to the ResultContainer (method extend_container_if_suspended)
* adds the results to the ResultContainer (method extend_container)
* handles exceptions (method handle_exception)
settings.yml:
* outgoing.networks:
* can contains network definition
* propertiers: enable_http, verify, http2, max_connections, max_keepalive_connections,
keepalive_expiry, local_addresses, support_ipv4, support_ipv6, proxies, max_redirects, retries
* retries: 0 by default, number of times searx retries to send the HTTP request (using different IP & proxy each time)
* local_addresses can be "192.168.0.1/24" (it supports IPv6)
* support_ipv4 & support_ipv6: both True by default
see https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/1034
* each engine can define a "network" section:
* either a full network description
* either reference an existing network
* all HTTP requests of engine use the same HTTP configuration (it was not the case before, see proxy configuration in master)
* 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.
the query "time" is convinient because most of the search engine will return some results,
but some engines in the general category will return documentation about the HTML tags <time> or <input type="time">
see searx.search.processors.abstract.EngineProcessor
First the method searx call the get_params method.
If the return value is not None, then the searx call the method search.
