Many WEB-search engines (e.g. startpage) response best results if a **region**
is selected, most often a language filter is also in the properties of the
WEB-search engine.
hint::
The **search language** should not be mixed: sometimes the language argument
is just the language of the UI with none effect on the result list.
To summarize:
Some WEB-search engines have language codes (e.g. `ca`) in their properties,
other have a region codes (e.g. `ca-ES`), some have regions and languages in
their properties (e.g. startpage) and other engine do not have any language or
region support.
In the past we generalized *language* over all kind of engines without taking
into mind that several WEB-search engines have best results when there is a
region selected.
This *language-centric* view in SearXNG is misleading when we need
region-codes to parameterize a engine request!
This patch replaces the *language-centric* view by a "language / region" view.
Conclusions:
With regions we can't say any longer that a engine supports *this or that*
language. By example: when the user selects 'zh' and a engine supports only
region codes like 'zh-TW' or 'zh-CN' we do not what results the user expects /
similar with 'en' or 'fr when the engine needs a region tag.
- Since it is unclear what the user expects by his language selection, we can't
assert a property that says: "supports_selected_language"
The feature is replaced in the UI by the wider sense of "language_support",
what stands for:
The engine has some kind of language support, either
by a region tag or by a language tag.
- A list of "supported_languages" does not make sense when there are regions
responsible for the result of an engine.
The "supported_languages" has been removed from the /config URL.
- The `has_language` test in the `searx/search/checker/impl.py` has been removed
since it does not cover engines with region support.
If there is a need for such a test we can implement new tests after all
engines with language (region) support has been moved to the *supported
properites* scheme (`'type': 'engine_properties'`) / see commit previous

Some HTTP-Clients do have issues with the ``opensearch.xml`` from SearXNG
(related [1][2]) while other OpenSearch descriptions[3] (e.g. from qwant) work
flawles.
Inspired by the OpenSearch description from qwant and with informations from the
specification[4] the ``opensearch.xml`` has been *improved*.
- convert `<Url>` methods from lower case to upper case (`POST`|`GET`)
- add `<moz:SearchForm>` and `xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/"`
- add `<Query role="example" searchTerms="SearXNG" />` [4]
OpenSearch description documents should include at least one Query element of
`role="example"` that is expected to return search results. Search clients may
use this example query to validate that the search engine is working properly.
- modified `<LongName>` to SearXNG
- modified `<Description>` the word 'hackable' scares uninitiated users and was removed
- add the `type="image/png"` to `<Image>`
Test can be done by::
make run
Visit http://127.0.0.1:8888/ and add the search engine to your WEB-Browser /
test with different WEB-Browser from desktop and Smartphones (are there any iOS
user here, please test on Safari and Chrome).

Add a new setting: general.donation_url
By default the value is https://docs.searxng.org/donate.html
When the value is false, the link is hidden
When the value is true, the link goes to the infopage donation,
the administrator can create a custom page.
To improve modularization this patch:
- moves *locale* related implementation from the webapp.py application to the
locale.py module.
- The initialization of the locales is now done in the application (webapp) and
is no longer done while importing searx.locales.
In the searx.locales module a new dictionary named `LOCALE_BEST_MATCH` has been
added. In this dictionary we can map languages without a translation to
languages we have a translation for.
To fix#1303 zh-HK has been mapped to zh-Hant-TW (we do not need additional
translations of traditional Chinese)

Since PR 932 [1][2] static files can't be delivered by HTTP server any longer.
This patch makes the hash paramter in the URL of static files:
/static/themes/simple/css/searxng.min.css?5fde34a74bc438c7b56ec8c6501e131cc9914bd8
optional. By default the hash parameter is disabled.
HINT:
Instances that do not deliver static files by their HTTP server and have a
long expire time [3] should enable this option.
----
This is only a interim solution, on the long run:
make static.build.commit
creates files including the file name:
css/searxng-5fde34a74bc438c7b56ec8c6501e131cc9914bd8.min.css
and a mapping.json with this content[4]

This patch implements a bolierplate to share content from info-pages of the
SearXNG instance (URL /info) with the project documentation (path /docs/user).
The info pages are using Markdown (CommonMark), to include them in the project
documentation (reST) the myst-parser [1] is used in the Sphinx-doc build chain.
If base_url is known (defined in settings.yml) links to the instance are also
inserted into the project documentation::

* move image_layout.js to oscar theme and delete common js dir (since its empty now)
* align top position of image detail modal with bottom position of search header
* use flexbox to display images; row height can be set via @results-image-row-height in defenitions.less
* display span title underneath each image with a max width of 12rem
* increase margin and padding around image article on desktop and tablet
* make article height smaller on phone layout (height of 6rem) to display more content on current view
* remove content from result, if the title and content matches
* use a group that cotains the flex image article, if images are mixed with other categories
* fix pylint issues in webapp.py
* use the default.html result template in unit tests (thanks @return42)
Engine description can be configured, this is needed e.g. by custom search
engines. Here is an example of a command engine with a description in the about
section::
- name: locate
engine: command
command: ['locate', '{{QUERY}}']
disabled: true
categories: files
about:
description: local files
website: 'https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/locate.1.html'

Currently we have two kinds of user documentation:
* the about page[1] which is written in HTML and part of the web
application and can therefore link instance-specific pages
(like e.g. the preferences) via Jinja variables
* the Sphinx documentation[2] which is written in reStructuredText
and cannot link instance-specific pages since it doesn't know
which instance the user is using
The plan is to integrate the user documentation currently in Sphinx
into the application, so that it can also link instance specific pages.
We also want to enable the user documentation to be translated.
This commit implements the first step in this endeavor (see #722).
[1]: searx/templates/__common__/about.html
[2]: docs/user/ (currently served at https://docs.searxng.org/user/)
webapp.py monkey-patches the Flask request global.
This commit adds a type cast so that e.g. Pyright[1]
doesn't show "Cannot access member" errors everywhere.

* 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
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).
