The ? search operator has been broken for some time and
currently only raises the question why it's still there.
## Context ##
The query "Paris !images" searches for "Paris" in the "images" category.
Once upon a time Searx supported "Paris ?images" to search for "Paris"
in the currently enabled categories and the "images" category.
The feature makes sense ... the ? syntax does not.
We will hopefully introduce a +!images syntax in the future.
Fixes#702.
* allow not to record metrics (response time, etc...)
* this commit doesn't change the UI. If the metrics are disabled
/stats and /stats/errors will return empty response.
in /preferences, the columns response time and reliability will be empty.
The tab icon names are currently hard coded in the templates.
This commit lets us introduce an icon property in the future, e.g:
categories_as_tabs:
general:
icon: search-outline
These dictionaries are no longer part of the general category,
so they're no longer queried by default -> we can enable them
by default without degrading general query performance.
The general category is the category that is searched by default.
From a privacy standpoint it doesn't make sense to send all general
queries to specialized search engines that cannot deal with those
queries anyway.
Previously we didn't have a good place to put search engines that don't
fit into any of the tab categories. This commit automatically puts
search engines that don't belong to any tab category in an "other"
category, that is only displayed in the user preferences (and not above
search results).
Commit c7f27404 moves the `python -m searx.webapp` process to the background. A
background job can't open a simple python-debugger (pdb) console.
This patch moves all processes to the background except the searx.webapp.
Insert a break point somewhere in the webapp application::
import pdb
pdb.set_trace()
And start a debug session by::
make run
and test you break point.
To test that the entire 'make run' stops in the case of an error in the
themes.live [1] background process try:
make LIVE_THEME=typo-theme-name run

Add a redis connector, the default DB connector is a socket at::
unix:///usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock?db=0
To set up a redis instance simply use::
$ ./manage redis.build
$ sudo -H ./manage redis.install
A hint for developers:
To get access rights to this instance, your developer account needs to be added
to the *searxng-redis* group::
$ sudo -H ./manage redis.addgrp "${USER}"
# don't forget to logout & login to get member of group

Stuff in folder searxng_extra/ is not suitable for normal users and should only
be used by developers.
The script searxng_extra/standalone_searx.py must not give the impression that
it improves privacy. [1]

Previously all categories were displayed as search engine tabs.
This commit changes that so that only the categories listed under
categories_as_tabs in settings.yml are displayed.
This lets us introduce more categories without cluttering up the UI.
Categories not displayed as tabs can still be searched with !bangs.
Previously the documentation grouped the engines by their first
category so e.g. YouTube and Invidious were only shown in the
in the videos section but not in the music section.
This commit fixes this by iterating over searx.engines.categories,
which also has the added benefit that the sections are now in the
same order as the tabs in the user interface.
