The implementation of the etools engine is poor. No date-range support, no
language support and it is broken by a CAPTCHA.
etools is a metasearch engine, the major search engines it supports (google,
bing, wikipedia, Yahoo) are already available in SeaarXNG.
While etools does support several engines we currently don't support directly,
support for them should be added directly to SearXNG if there is demand.
In practice: in SearXNG the worse etools results will be mixed with good results
from other engines we have (as long as there is no captcha).
At best case, what we win with etools is in e.g. results from de.ask.com in a
query from a german request .. in all other cases worse results are bubble up in
SearXNG's result list.

The previous implementation used two hash sets and a list.
... that's not necessary ... a single hash map suffices.
And it's also less error prone ... because the previous data structure
allowed a setting to be enabled and disabled at the same time.
Previously the default_value was abused for the cookie name.
Having SwitchableSetting subclass Setting doesn't even make sense
in the first place since none of the Setting methods apply.
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).
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

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.
Add event listener to query selector::
'#urls img.image'
From the user point of view, I think it is better to hide the image:
img_load_error.svg is helplful in the image category because it still allows to
select the image. IMO, in the news category, the fact there is a missing image
won't help to choose the links. From a developer point of view, the place holder
is signal that may be the engine needs to be updated (at least give a look). The
browser console should show the same information too, but it requires some
additional steps. [1]

Follow up queries for the pages needed to be fixed.
- Split search-term in one for initial query and one for following queries.
- Set some headers in HTTP requests, bing needs for paging support.
- IMO //div[@class="sa_cc"] does no longer match in a bing response.

Images should include dimension attributes. Without `width` and `height`
specified, image dimensions are 0×0 pixels at first. ... In this case the
browser determines that all of them are visible to the user and decides to load
everything [1].
In CSS the `width` is set to a value and the `height` is unsed to scale the image
proportional in both dimensions.
