When using ``use_default_settings: true``, removing default categories from
settings.yml will not remove them from the UI.
The value ``categories_as_tabs`` is a dictionary type (a4c2cfb) and dictionary
types are merged additive by ``settings_loader.update_settings()``.
This patch replaces the default ``categories_as_tabs`` by the one from the
``user_settings``.

This patch replaces the *full of magic* ``utils.match_language`` function by a
``locales.match_locale``. The ``locales.match_locale`` function is based on the
``locales.build_engine_locales`` introduced in 9ae409a0 [1].
In the past SearXNG did only support a search by a language but not in a region.
This has been changed a long time ago and regions have been added to SearXNG
core but not to the engines. The ``utils.match_language`` was the function to
handle the different aspects of language/regions in SearXNG core and the
supported *languages* in the engine. The ``utils.match_language`` did it with
some magic and works good for most use cases but fails in some edge case.
To replace the concurrence of languages and regions in the SearXNG core the
``locales.build_engine_locales`` was introduced in 9ae409a0 [1]. With the last
patches all engines has been migrated to a ``fetch_traits`` and a
language/region concept that is based on ``locales.build_engine_locales``.
To summarize: there is no longer a need for the ``locales.match_language``.

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 The old API suggestqueries.google.com/complete has been replaced
by the async REST API: https://{subdomain}/complete/search?{args}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

- get_ddg_lang(): Get DDG's language identifier from SearXNG's locale. DDG
defines its languages by region codes. DDG-Lite does not offer a language
selection to the user, only a region can be selected by the user.
- Cache ``vqd`` value: The vqd value depends on the query string and is needed
for the follow up pages or the images loaded by a XMLHttpRequest (DDG
images). The ``vqd`` value of a search term is stored for 10min in the
redis DB.
- DDG Lite engine: reversed engineered request method with improved Language

searx/engines/duckduckgo_definitions.py: DDG Instant Answer API
The *instant answers* API does not support languages, or at least we could not
find out how language support should work. It seems that most of the features
are based on English terms.

- use traits of data_type: traits_v1 and drop deprecated data_type: supported_languages
- adds time-range support
- adds save-search support
- fix searxng/searxng/issues 1884
- fix searxng/searxng/issues 1081 --> improvements to avoid CAPTCHA

With the language and region tags from the EngineTraitsMap the handling of
SearXNG's tags of languages and regions has been normalized and is no longer
a *mystery*. The "languages" became "locales" that are supported by babel and
by this, the update_engine_traits.py can be simplified a lot.
Other code places can be simplified as well, but these simplifications
should (respectively can) only be done when none of the engines work with the
deprecated EngineTraits.supported_languages interface anymore.
This commit replaces searx.languages by searx.sxng_locales and fix the naming of

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*.

The widget is agnostic to the actual amount of pages there are that one

This patch is to hardening the parsing of the bing response:
1. To fix [2087] check if the selected result item contains a link, otherwise
skip result item and continue in the result loop. Increment the result
pointer when a result has been added / the enumerate that counts for skipped
items is no longer valid when result items are skipped.
To test the bugfix use: ``!bi :all cerbot``
2. Limit the XPath selection of result items to direct children nodes (list
items ``li``) of the ordered list (``ol``).
To test the selector use: ``!bi :en pontiac aztek wiki``
.. in the result list you should find the wikipedia entry on top,
compare [2068]
[2087] https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/2087
[2068] https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/2068
This changes the Suggestions to be a single column, not a wrapping row,
changing the input to be incapable of overflowing into visually adjacent
elements.
Modify the XPath selector to get the wikipedia result plus small fixes.
About result content: especially with the Wikipedia result, we'd get several
paragraph elements, only the first paragraph would be taken and displayed on the
search result

Default behavior of urllib.parse_qs is to discard blank values, causing a preference of none to be deserialized as undefined, using the instance default rather than the selected preference.
redis.Redis.from_url(url) doesn't check if the url is valid
Before this commit: actual error are detected later when the client is actually used.
With this commit, client() makes sure to return a valid Redis client or None.
Also, the code makes sure not to log the password of the Redis URL
settings.yml:
* The default URL was unix:///usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock?db=0
* The default URL is now "false"
The default URL makes the log difficult to deal with:
if the admin didn't install a Redis instance, the logs record a false error.
It worked before because SearXNG initialized the Redis connection when the limiter started.
In this commit, SearXNG initializes Redis in searx/webapp.py
so various components can use Redis without taking care of the initialization step.

The match_language function sometimes returns incorrect results which is why a
new function get_engine_locale is required.
A bugfix of the match_language is not easily possible, because there is almost
no documentation for it and already the call parameters are undefined. E.g. the
function processes values like the ones from yahoo::
"yahoo": [
"ar",
...
"zh_chs",
"zh_cht"
]
The get_engine_locale has been documented in detail, there is a clear
description of the assumptions as well as the requirements and approximation
rules (read doc-string for more details)::
Argument ``engine_locales`` is a python dict that maps *SearXNG locales* to
corresponding *engine locales*:
<engine>: {
# SearXNG string : engine-string
'ca-ES' : 'ca_ES',
'fr-BE' : 'fr_BE',
'fr-CA' : 'fr_CA',
'fr-CH' : 'fr_CH',
'fr' : 'fr_FR',
...
'pl-PL' : 'pl_PL',
'pt-PT' : 'pt_PT'
}
.. hint::
The *SearXNG locale* string has to be known by babel!
In the following you will find a comparison:
>>> import babel.languages
>>> from searx.utils import match_language
>>> from searx.locales import get_engine_locale
Assume we have an engine that supports the follwoing locales:
>>> lang_list = {
... "zh-CN": "zh_CN",
... "zh-HK": "zh_HK",
... "nl-BE": "nl_BE",
... "fr-CA": "fr_CA",
... }
Assumption:
A. When a user selects a language the results should be optimized according to
the selected language.
B. When user selects a language and a territory the results should be
optimized with first priority on territory and second on language.
----
Example: (Assumption A.)
A user selects region 'zh-TW' which should end in zh_HK
hint:
CN is 'Hans' and HK ('Hant') fits better to TW ('Hant')
>>> get_engine_locale('zh-TW', lang_list)
'zh_HK'
>>> lang_list[match_language('zh-TW', lang_list)]
'zh_CN'
----
Example: (Assumption A.)
A user selects only the language 'zh' which should end in CN
>>> get_engine_locale('zh', lang_list)
'zh_CN'
>>> lang_list[match_language('zh', lang_list)]
'zh_CN'
----
Example: (Assumption B.)
A user selects region 'fr-BE' which should end in nl-BE
hint:
priority should be on the territory the user selected. If the user
prefers 'fr' he will select 'fr' without a region tag.
>>> get_engine_locale('fr-BE', lang_list, default='unknown')
'nl_BE'
>>> match_language('fr-BE', lang_list, fallback='unknown')
'fr-CA'
----
Example: (Assumption A.)
A user selects only the language 'fr' which should end in fr_CA
>>> get_engine_locale('fr', lang_list)
'fr_CA'
>>> lang_list[match_language('fr', lang_list)]
'fr_CA'
----
The difference in priority on the territory is best shown with a engine that
supports the following locales:
>>> lang_list = {
... "fr-FR": "fr_FR",
... "fr-CA": "fr_CA",
... "en-GB": "en_GB",
... "nl-BE": "nl_BE",
... }
----
Example: (Assumption A.)
A user selects only a language
>>> get_engine_locale('en', lang_list)
'en_GB'
>>> match_language('en', lang_list)
'en-GB'
hint: the engine supports fr_FR and fr_CA since no territory is given, fr_FR
takes priority ..
>>> get_engine_locale('fr', lang_list)
'fr_FR'
>>> lang_list[match_language('fr', lang_list)]
'fr_FR'
----
Example: (Assumption B.)
A user selects region 'fr-BE' which should end in nl-BE
>>> get_engine_locale('fr-BE', lang_list)
'nl_BE'
>>> lang_list[match_language('fr-BE', lang_list)]
'fr_FR'
----
If the user selects a language and there are two locales like the following:
>>> lang_list = {
... "fr-BE": "fr_BE",
... "fr-CH": "fr_CH",
... }
>>>
>>> get_engine_locale('fr', lang_list)
'fr_BE'
>>> lang_list[match_language('fr', lang_list)]
'fr_BE'
Looks like both functions return the same value, but match_language depends on the
order of the dictionary (which is not predictable):
>>> lang_list = {
... "fr-CH": "fr_CH",
... "fr-BE": "fr_BE",
... }
>>> get_engine_locale('fr', lang_list)
'fr_BE'
>>> lang_list[match_language('fr', lang_list)]
'fr_CH'
>>>
The get_engine_locale selects the locale by looking at the "population percent"
and this percentage has an higher amount in BE (68.%) compared to CH (21%)

By using new property `qwant_categ:` the category of qwant is no longer bound to
the category of SearXNG.

Neeva is "the world's first ad-free, private search engine" and uses data from Apple, Bing, Yelp and "others".
They claim to crawl "hundreds of millions" of URLs a day (https://twitter.com/Neeva/status/1536447373903335426).
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).
