HTTP GET vs POST ================ Already diskussed in "Method POST harms UX without providing a tangible privacy benefit" [1]. At that time we agreed to POST. However, as we are having more and more drawbacks with POST, I suggest that we reconsider our previous decision. The latest cause was [2], but we also have other problems that negatively affect the UI [1]: * Open Link in New Tab: does not work for our search result tabs because they aren't actual links. * Bookmarking: a search becomes more difficult with POST. You cannot just press a browser keyboard shortcut `Ctrl+D` ... no you have to copy the Search URL from the sidebar. This can pose a real struggle for less technically-minded users. * Sharing: a search with somebody else becomes more difficult with POST (for the same reason). Lock HTTP method in the preferences =================================== If the user changes the HTTP method in his settings, e.g. from GET to POST, but has not removed the SearXNG instance from the WEB browser and added it again, the WEB browser will continue to work with the old setting (GET), while entries in the HTML form use the newly set method (POST). Not realted to this commit, but this complication is also known from autocomplete[3]. Only very few maintainers are aware of this fact and probably none of the users know about it. We should provide a setup in our defaults that is manageable in its entirety and comprehensible for the user. For this reason, the option to select the HTTP method in the preferences is also disabled in this commit.
