Previously help pages could link to instance-specific pages
with e.g. [search engines][url_for:preferences] which was
possible because searx.user_help was prefixing the Markdown:
[url_for:preferences]: /preferences
There are two problems with this:
1. typos in the Markdown files could go by unnoticed
(since Markdown treats [foo][doesntexist] as regular text)
2. it doesn't let Markdown append their own query string
(which would however be handy to link example search
queries to the search page)
This commit addresses both of these problems by using
string.Template from the Python standard library.
Why don't we use Jinja2 for this? Well Jinja2 would be overkill.
We don't need any logic in the user documentation. And in the future
we might outsource the user documentation translation to Weblate,
in which case not permitting any logic in them is more secure.
Two different threads ( = two different user queries) can call the request
function in a row and then the response function. The namespace will be same
since this is the same engine.
To keep exactly the same value ``base_url`` must be stored in params and then
retrieve using ``resp.search_params["base_url"]``.

can replace filtron:
* rate limite the number of request per IP and per (IP, User-Agent)
* block some bots
use Redis
data stored in Redis never contains the IP addresses, only HMAC using the secret_key

Now that about.html extends page_with_header.html
it already has a link to the start page and removing
the link makes it easier to extract the page title
from the Markdown for the following commit.
Currency engine has DuckDuckGo metadata
In the engine selector of the preferences window, the currency search engine has
the same metadata and wikidata url as duckduckgo, I'd assume there should be a
difference of some sort there clarifying what source the currency uses or, if
it's a duckduckgo service, at least clarifying that it's a currency service by
duck duck go.
