Bing has a list of regions that it supports and some of these regions
may have more than one possible language.
In some cases, like Switzerland, these languages are always shown as
options, so there is no issue. But in other cases, like Andorra, Bing
will only show one language at the time, either the region's default or
the request's language if the latter is supported by that region.
For example, if the HTTP request is in French, Andorra will appear as
fr-AD but if the same page is requested in any other language Andorra
will appear as ca-AD.
This is specially a problem when Bing assumes that the request is in
English because it overrides enough language codes to make several major
languages like Arabic dissappear from the languages.py file.
To avoid that issue, I set the Accept-Language header to a language
that's only supported in one region to hopefully avoid these overrides.
use a sparql request on wikidata to get the list of currencies.
currencies.json contains the translation for all supported searx languages.
Supersede #993
At the moment videos without a description are not shown - setting
default content to "" fixes this.
Another current bug is that thumbnails are not displayed. This is caused
by a double slash in the url. For this every trailing slash is now
stripped (for backwards compatibility) and the API response is correctly
parsed.
* searx understand "!ddg !g time" as : send "!g time" to DDG

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.
on some queries (like an IT error message), wikipedia returns an HTTP error 400.
this commit returns an empty result instead of showing an error to the user.
Some JSON API returns HTML in either in the HTML or the content.
This commit adds two new parameters to the json_engine:

The new version of MetaGer needs to reload the reults (into a iframe) with a
unique tag (see HTML response below).
Implementing a dedicated metager-engine for searx makes no sense to me. The
great days of MetaGer seems to be ended. I remember the good old days this
project started in the 90's of the last century. But in the last few years it
becomes more and more crap. As the name suggested, MetaGer was made for
germans in the first place. They have added a english and spain translation but
the i18n is very poor compared to what searx offers.
It's a pity, lets drop MetaGer.
This is the first response, the id (b82679980656899ba5a17ffd02a56846) is unique

Some of our interface locales include uppercase country codes,
which are separated by `_` instead of the more common `-`.
Also, a browser's `Accept-Language` header could be in lowercase.
This commit attempts to normalize those cases so a browser's
language+country codes can better match with our locales.
This solution assumes that our UI locales have nothing more than
language and optionally country. If we ever add a script specific
locale like `zh-Hant-TW` this would have to change to accomodate
that, but the idea would be pretty much the same as this fix.
The language_support variable is set to True by default,
and set to False in only 5 engines.
Except the documentation and the /config URL, this variable is not used.
This commit remove the variable definition in the engines, and
set value according to supported_languages length: False when the length is 0,
True otherwise.

In this case the category is also set to 'none'.
from_bang only usage was in searx.webadapter.parse_specific :
if from_bang is True, then the EngineRef category is ignored and force to 'none'.
This commit also removes the searx.webadapter.parse_sepecific function.

First the method searx call the get_params method.
If the return value is not None, then the searx call the method search.

According to

an engine can have no category at all.
Without this commit, searx raise an exception in searx/results.py
Note: in this case, the engine is not shown in the preferences.
before commit 58d72f2, category was not set in xpath.py,
so searx/engines/__init__py was setting the category to ['general']
the commit 58d72f2 set the category to [] which is not replaced by searx/engines/__init__.py
consequence: the mojeek engine is hidden in the preferences.
this commit revert the xpath.py change.

Add a new parameter "raise_for_status", set by default to True.
When True, any HTTP status code >= 300 raise an exception ( #2332 )
When False, the engine can manage the HTTP status code by itself.

recoll is a local search engine based on Xapian:
http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/
By itself recoll does not offer web or API access,
this can be achieved using recoll-webui:
https://framagit.org/medoc92/recollwebui.git
This engine uses a custom 'files' result template
set `base_url` to the location where recoll-webui can be reached
set `dl_prefix` to a location where the file hierarchy as indexed by recoll can be reached
set `search_dir` to the part of the indexed file hierarchy to be searched, use an empty string to search the entire search domain
This change is backward compatible with the existing configurations.

* URL / : the index page displayed the selected or the default category.
* URL / : when the q parameter is set using the URL, the redirect includes the URL query.
* URL /search : an empty query doesn't raise an exception.
This makes it easier to separately handle search and index requests
from a web server or from a reverse proxy.
If a request to index contains a query, a permanent redirect HTTP response
is returned. This should give some level of backwards compatibility
for users that have set a searx instance in their browser's search bar.
Xpath engine and results template changed to account for the fact that
archive.org doesn't cache .onions, though some onion engines migth have
their own cache.
Disabled by default. Can be enabled by setting the SOCKS proxies to

Requires Tor and updating packages.
To avoid manually adding the timeout on each engine, you can set
extra_proxy_timeout to account for Tor's (or whatever proxy used) extra
time.
- remove paging support: a "vqd" parameter is required between each request. This parameter is uniq for each request
- update the URL (no redirect), use the POST method

When the user add searx as a search engine, the browser loads the /opensearch.xml URL without the cookies.

requests 2.24.0 uses the ssl module except if it doesn't support SNI, in this case searx fallbacks to pyopenssl.
searx logs a critical message and exit if the ssl modules doesn't support SNI and pyOpenSSL is not installed.

in requirements.txt, pyopenssl is still required to install searx as a fallback.

A new "base" engine called command is introduced. It is the foundation for all command line engines for now.
You can use this engine to create your own command line engine.
Add some engines (commented out to make sure no one enables anything accidentally):
* git grep: This engine lets you grep in the searx repo.
* locate: If locate is installed and initialized, you can search on the FS.
* find: You can find files with a specific name from where you started searx.
* pattern search in files: This engine utilizes the command fgrep.
* regex search in files: This engine runs `grep` to find a file based on its contents.
and some other exceptions:
* KeyboardInterrupt
* SystemExit
* RuntimeError
* SystemError
* ImportError: an engine with an unmet dependency will stop everything.
Sending queries through POST, while better for privacy, breaks functionality
with certain extensions (e.g. Firefox containers). Since Firefox does
not send cookies when requesting `/opensearch.xml`, users cannot easily
switch to GET on the client side unless they make a custom search
engine. This commit allows admins to modify the default method on their
side so they can set it to GET if needed.
Sending query params over GET seems to be the only way to be able to
enable autocomplete in the browser. This commit adds the necessary URL
formatting to opensearch.xml. In order to identify queries coming from
the URL bar (rather than an AJAX request), which requires a different
JSON format and MIME type, the request headers are checked for
"X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest" which is added by jQuery request.
