This commit remove the need to update the brand for GIT_URL and GIT_BRANCH:
there are read from the git repository.
It is possible to call python -m searx.version freeze to freeze the current version.
Useful when the code is installed outside git (distro package, docker, etc...)
Not all settings from the 'brand:' section of the YAML files are needed in the
shell scripts. This patch reduce the variables in ./utils/brand.env to what is
needed. The following ('brand:' settings) can be removed from this file:
- ISSUE_URL
- DOCS_URL
- PUBLIC_INSTANCES
- WIKI_URL
Tasks running outside of an *installed instance*, need the following settings
from the YAML configuration:
- GIT_URL <--> brand.git_url
- GIT_BRANCH <--> brand.git_branch
- SEARX_URL <--> server.base_url (aka PUBLIC_URL)
- SEARX_PORT <--> server.port
- SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS <--> server.bind_address

In commit 94851790 we have centralized all SearXNG setups in the settings.yml
file:
94851790 [mod] move brand options from Makefile to settings.yml
This step has not yet been completed for the installation procedures! Since all
SearXNG setups are done in the settings.yml these environment variables needs to
be removed from the ./conf.sh file. Scripts and other tasks running outside of
an instance got the needed values from the ./utils/brand.env file.
By example: ATM the environment variables of the ./config.sh file are in
conflict with them from settings.yml:
- PUBLIC_URL --> {server:base_url}
- SEARX_INTERNAL_HTTP --> {server:bind_address}.{server:port}
- GIT_BRANCH --> {brand:GIT_URL}
These environment variable of a SearXNG instance and additional
- SEARX_SETTINGS_TEMPLATE
has been remove from the '.config.sh' file. With this patch, the main focus of
./conf.sh resists on environment variables needed for the installation of morty,
filtron software.
modified .config.sh:
- removed no longer supported variables (see above)
- add comment about: SearXNG setup in settings.yml
modified utils/searx.sh:
- SEARX_INTERNAL_HTTP no longer take from .config.sh
- SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH /etc/searx/settings.yml

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.
If a settings.yml loaded from an user defined location (SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH or /etc/searx/settings.yml),
then this settings can relied on the default settings.yml with this option:
user_default_settings:True

A new option is added to engines to hide error messages from users. It
is called `display_error_messages` and by default it is set to `True`.
If it is set to `False` error messages do not show up on the UI.
Keep in mind that engines are still suspended if needed regardless of
this setting.

We explicitly specific the static directory here using alias to allow to
host from a other subdirectory than "searx" which just so happens to
match the source code directory.
Closes: #1617
There is an issue with the setup example in https://asciimoo.github.io/searx/dev/install/installation.html#installation for subdirectory URL deployments:
```nginx
root /usr/local/searx;
location = /searx { rewrite ^ /searx/; }
try_files $uri @searx;
}
location @searx {
uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /searx;
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_modifier1 30;
uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket;
}
```
`try_files` causes Nginx to search for files in the server root first. If it matches a file, it is returned. Only if no file matched, the request is passed to uwsgi. The worst consequence I can think of is that `settings.yml` can be downloaded without authentication (where secrets and configuration details are stored).
To fix this, I propose:
```nginx
location = /searx {
rewrite ^ /searx/;
}
location /searx/static {
}
location /searx {
uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /searx;
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket;
}
```
And add
```
route-run = fixpathinfo:
```
to `/etc/uwsgi/apps-available/searx.ini` because `uwsgi_modifier1 30` is apparently deprecated. Ref: https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Changelog-2.0.11.html#fixpathinfo-routing-action
I assume this issue exists because some uwsgi upstream docs also use the `try_files` construct (at least I have seen this somewhere in the docs or somewhere else on the Internet but cannot find it right now again).
https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Nginx.html#hosting-multiple-apps-in-the-same-process-aka-managing-script-name-and-path-info also warns about this:
> If used incorrectly a configuration like this may cause security problems. For your sanity’s sake, double-triple-quadruple check that your application files, configuration files and any other sensitive files are outside of the root of the static files.
