The word "hackable" may arouse interest in programmers to participate in the
development, but it scares the ordinary user.

Some administrators may want to hide the link to public_instances: If you run a
private instance for a company that wants there employees to use the private
instance instead of any of the public instances.
Add a new setting: general.donation_url
By default the value is https://docs.searxng.org/donate.html
When the value is false, the link is hidden
When the value is true, the link goes to the infopage donation,
the administrator can create a custom page.
This patch implements a bolierplate to share content from info-pages of the
SearXNG instance (URL /info) with the project documentation (path /docs/user).
The info pages are using Markdown (CommonMark), to include them in the project
documentation (reST) the myst-parser [1] is used in the Sphinx-doc build chain.
If base_url is known (defined in settings.yml) links to the instance are also
inserted into the project documentation::
searxng_extra/docs_prebuild

Previously the preferences & stats templates contained the markup:
<a href="{{ url_for('index') }}"><h1><span>SearXNG</span></h1></a>
There are many things wrong with this:
1. the markup was duplicated
2. the CSS needed to be changed whenever a new page wanted to use this
header (since the CSS used page-specific selectors)
3. h1 should be reserved for the actual page title
(e.g. Preferences or Engine stats)
4. the image was set via CSS which also set:
span { visibility: hidden; }
which however removes the alternative text from the accessibility
tree (meaning screen readers will ignore it).
This commit fixes all these problems.
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...)
In the templates and the /config (JSON) the usage of the 'brand.*' name
space is replaced by 'searx.get_setting' function.
- new_issue_url --> get_setting('brand.new_issue_url')
- brand.GIT_URL --> get_setting('brand.git_url')
- brand.PUBLIC_INSTANCES --> get_setting('brand.public_instances')
- brand.DOCS_URL --> get_setting('brand.docs_url')
- brand.ISSUE_URL --> get_setting('brand.issue_url')
- brand.CONTACT_URL --> get_setting('general.contact_url', '')
The macro 'new_issue' from searx/templates/*/messages/no_results.html
is now imported with context::
{% from '__common__/new_issue.html' import new_issue with context %}
To get *public instances URL* from context's 'get_setting()' function::
get_setting('brand.public_instances','')
Macro's prototype does no longer need the 'new_issue_url' argument and has been
changed to::
macro new_issue(engine_name, engine_reliability)

When the user add searx as a search engine, the browser loads the /opensearch.xml URL without the cookies.
Without the query parameters, the user preferences are ignored (method and autocomplete).
In addition, opensearch.xml is modified to support automatic updates,
see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/OpenSearch
We have some variables in the build environment which are also needed in the
templating process. Theses variables are relavant if one creates a fork with
its own branding. We treat these variables under the term 'brands'.
