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.
