From 85364edaf077de42b24cc5e16507181208780c5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Heiser Date: Wed, 26 May 2021 09:45:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [fix] webapp.py - running without installation is not supported Remove extension of the sys.path (aka PYTHONPATH). Running instance directly from repository's folder is a relict from the early beginning in 2014 (fd651083f) and is no longer supported. Since commit dd46629 was merged the command line 'searx-run' exists and should be used.
