- re-enables z-library as the new domain zlibrary-global.se is now available
from the open web. The announcement of the domain:
https://www.reddit.com/r/zlibrary/comments/13whe08/mod_note_zlibraryglobalse_domain_is_officially/
It is an official domain, it requires to log in to the "personal" subdomain
only to download files, but the search works.
- changes the result template of zlibrary to paper.html, filling the appropriate fields
- implements language filtering for zlibrary
- implement zlibrary custom filters (engine traits)
- refactor and document the zlibrary engine
- torznab engine using types and clearer code
- torznab option to hide torrent and magnet links.
- document the torznab engine
- add myself to authors

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 The old API suggestqueries.google.com/complete has been replaced
by the async REST API: https://{subdomain}/complete/search?{args}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
searx/engines/google_videos.py
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- add paging support
- implement a async request ('asearch': 'arc' & 'async':
'use_ac:true,_fmt:html')
- simplified code (thanks to '_fmt:html' request)
- issue 1359: fixed xpath of video length data
searx/engines/google_scholar.py
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- request(): include patents & citations
- response(): fixed CAPTCHA detection (Scholar has its own CATCHA manager)
- hardening XPath to iterate over results
- fixed XPath of pub_type (has been change from gs_ct1 to gs_cgt2 class)
- issue 1769 fixed: new request implementation is no longer incompatible

Tineye becomes active as soon as a https:// signature is found in the search
term, but most of the time a reverse image search is not requested when a URL is
specified, often the URL is just from a C&P.
The frequent requests to tineye lead in the end to the SearXNG instance being
blocked by tineye and the user seeing unexpected error messages.
BTW: many maintainers have disabled this engine in their local SearXNG settings.

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.
no_result_for_http_status contains a list of HTTP status.
These HTTP status are seen an empty result list.
In other cases an exception is thrown as usual.
Previously raise_for_httperror were ignoring all HTTP error,
which make defective engines invisible in the stats.
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).
This implements the Deepl Translation engine. It works nearly like lingva but
directly to the deepl API. This api only needs a to-lang, from-lang is a fake
by now.
There is a free option to use [1].
[1] https://www.deepl.com/pro-api?cta=header-pro-api for registering a free account.
yep.com is still in beta, the api.yep.com does not have paging support. There
is only a 'limit' argument with a maximum of 100 results.
yep.com seems fast; there is nor need for a timeout of 12 sec.
The API returns JSON nevertheless what the HTTP header is, the "show more"
button on yep.com's web site does not set a special HTTP Accept header.
FYI: The index does not support languages, the WEB UI does not offer a language
selection of the results and the entire index seems in English.

Since PR 932 [1][2] static files can't be delivered by HTTP server any longer.
This patch makes the hash paramter in the URL of static files:
/static/themes/simple/css/searxng.min.css?5fde34a74bc438c7b56ec8c6501e131cc9914bd8
optional. By default the hash parameter is disabled.
HINT:
Instances that do not deliver static files by their HTTP server and have a
long expire time [3] should enable this option.
----
This is only a interim solution, on the long run:
make static.build.commit
creates files including the file name:

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"]``.

The implementation of the etools engine is poor. No date-range support, no
language support and it is broken by a CAPTCHA.
etools is a metasearch engine, the major search engines it supports (google,
bing, wikipedia, Yahoo) are already available in SeaarXNG.
While etools does support several engines we currently don't support directly,
support for them should be added directly to SearXNG if there is demand.
In practice: in SearXNG the worse etools results will be mixed with good results
from other engines we have (as long as there is no captcha).
At best case, what we win with etools is in e.g. results from de.ask.com in a
query from a german request .. in all other cases worse results are bubble up in
SearXNG's result list.

The tab icon names are currently hard coded in the templates.
This commit lets us introduce an icon property in the future, e.g:
categories_as_tabs:
general:
icon: search-outline
These dictionaries are no longer part of the general category,
so they're no longer queried by default -> we can enable them
by default without degrading general query performance.
The general category is the category that is searched by default.
From a privacy standpoint it doesn't make sense to send all general
queries to specialized search engines that cannot deal with those
queries anyway.
Add a redis connector, the default DB connector is a socket at::
unix:///usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock?db=0
To set up a redis instance simply use::
$ ./manage redis.build
$ sudo -H ./manage redis.install
A hint for developers:
To get access rights to this instance, your developer account needs to be added
to the *searxng-redis* group::
$ sudo -H ./manage redis.addgrp "${USER}"

Previously all categories were displayed as search engine tabs.

This lets us introduce more categories without cluttering up the UI.
Categories not displayed as tabs can still be searched with !bangs.

previously:
* oscar theme: the query was always included

The key of the dictionary 'searx.data.ENGINES_LANGUAGES' is the *engine name*
configured in settings.xml. When multiple engines are configured to use the
same origin engine (e.g. `engine: google`)::
- name: google
engine: google
use_mobile_ui: false
...
- name: google italian
engine: google
use_mobile_ui: false
language: it
...
- name: google mobile ui
engine: google
shortcut: gomui
use_mobile_ui: true
There exists no entry for ENGINES_LANGUAGES[engine.name] (e.g. `name: google
mobile ui` or `name: google italian`). This issue can be solved by recreate the
ENGINES_LANGUAGES::
make data.languages
But this is nothing an SearXNG admin would like to do when just configuring
additional engines, since this just doubles entries in ENGINES_LANGUAGES and
BTW: `make data.languages` has various external requirements which might be not
installed or not available, on a production host.
With this patch, if engine.name fails, ENGINES_LANGUAGES[engine.engine] is used
to get the engine.supported_languages (e.g. `google` for the engine named
`google mobile`).
For an engine, when there is `language: ...` in the YAML settings, the engine
supports only one language, in this case engine.supported_languages should
contains this value defined in settings.yml (e.g. `it` for the engine named
`google italian`).
