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 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.
Previously we didn't have a good place to put search engines that don't
fit into any of the tab categories. This commit automatically puts
search engines that don't belong to any tab category in an "other"
category, that is only displayed in the user preferences (and not above
search results).
Previously all categories were displayed as search engine tabs.
This commit changes that so that only the categories listed under
categories_as_tabs in settings.yml are displayed.
This lets us introduce more categories without cluttering up the UI.
Categories not displayed as tabs can still be searched with !bangs.

Follow up queries for the pages needed to be fixed.
- Split search-term in one for initial query and one for following queries.
- Set some headers in HTTP requests, bing needs for paging support.
- IMO //div[@class="sa_cc"] does no longer match in a bing response.

In the video search, google also sometimes includes news. E.g. in the DE
language when you search for `!gov paris`, google adds an article from a german
newspaper (FAZ), I assume these are sponsored link (not tagged advertisement?)
Those links do not have an image / this patch ignores *video links* wqithout an
image ID.

Languages are supported by mapping the language to a domain. If domain is not
found in :py:obj:`lang2domain` URL ``<lang>.search.yahoo.com`` is used.

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`).

and does have a paging option (reversed engineered from the input form of [1]).

If there is no write access, there is no need for global. Remove global
statement if there is no assignment.
global-variable-not-assigned:
Using global for names but no assignment is done Used when a variable is
defined through the "global" statement but no assignment to this variable is
done.
In Pylint 2.11 the global-variable-not-assigned checker now catches global
variables that are never reassigned in a local scope and catches (reassigned)
functions [1][2]

the openstreetmap engine imports code from the wikidata engine.
before this commit, specific code make sure to copy the logger variable to the wikidata engine.
with this commit searx.engines.load_engine makes sure the .logger is initialized.
The implementation scans sys.modules for module name starting with searx.engines.
close#298
This is a workaround: inside engine code, any call to function in another engine can crash
since the logger won't be initialized except if it is done explicitly.
Instead of raising an exception and therefore hiding all results of the engine.
It make sense to remove that requirement in order to allow the implementation of
search engines that do not always have a description. In fact some search
engines that in 99% of the case have a description like Brave Search or Mojeek
crash completely if they for some reason included a result with no description.
To test this patch try Mojeek:
!mjk xyz
before and after the patch.

The implementation uses the Qwant API (https://api.qwant.com/v3). The API is
undocumented but can be reverse engineered by reading the network log of
https://www.qwant.com/ queries.
This implementation is used by different qwant engines in the settings.yml::
- name: qwant
categories: general
...
- name: qwant news
categories: news
...
- name: qwant images
categories: images
...
- name: qwant videos

In the EU there exists a "General Data Protection Regulation" [1] aka GDPR (BTW:
very user friendly!) which requires consent to tracking. To get the consent
from the user, google-news requests are redirected to confirm and get a CONSENT
Cookie from https://consent.google.de/s?continue=...
This patch adds a CONSENT Cookie to the google-news request to avoid
redirection.
The behavior of the CONTENTS cookies over all google engines seems similar but
the pattern is not yet fully clear to me, here are some random samples from my
analysis ..
Using common google search from different domains::
google.com: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+816
google.de: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+333
google.fr: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.fr+FX+826
When searching about videos (google-videos)::
google.es: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.es+FX+076
google.de: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.de+FX+171
Google news has only one domain for all languages::
news.google.com: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+816
Using google-scholar search from different domains::
scholar.google.de: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+333
scholar.google.fr: does not use such a cookie / did not ask the user
scholar.google.es: does not use such a cookie / did not ask the user
Interim summary:
Pattern is unclear and I won't apply the CONSENT cookie to all google engines.
More experience is need before we generalize the CONSENT cookies over all
google engines.
