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.

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

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.

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`).

To harden SearXNG instances by default, other formats than HTML should be

Bots are the only users of this feature on a public instance, and they abuse
it too much that the engines rate limit pretty quickly the IP address of the

The engine was added in commit a4b07460 but now it shows new issues [1].
In the 90'th of the last century, dogpile had its own WEB index, but nowadays it
is a meta-search engine [2]
Powered by technology, Dogpile returns all the best results from leading
search engines including Google and Yahoo!
Using dogpile as an engine in SearXNG needs more investigation, a XPath solution
like we have is not enough. It is questionable whether it still makes sense to
investigate more into a meta-search engine with a ReCAPTCHA in front.
With this patch the dogpile engine is removed

Engine just for Podcasts. An API which returns Podcasts and their Info like:
website, author etc.
Upstream query example: https://gpodder.net/search.json?q=linux
Added synonyme.woxikon.de using the xpath engine. Adds a site which returns
word synonyms although just in German.
Depending on the query not all synonyms are shown because of not the best xpath
selection. But should do the job just fine.
Upstream example query: https://synonyme.woxikon.de/synonyme/test.php
BTW add about section to the YAML configuration
It now shows descriptions with their correct URLs when there are videos in the
