it prepares the new architecture change,
everything about multithreading in moved in the searx.search.* packages
previously the call to the "init" function of the engines was done in searx.engines:
* the network was not set (request not sent using the defined proxy)
* it requires to monkey patch the code to avoid HTTP requests during the tests
* display the median time instead of the average.
* add a "Reliability" column (sum up the metrics and the checker results).
* the "selected language", "SafeSearch", "Time range" values are displayed as "broken" when the checker tests fail.
Some error won't stop the engine:
* additional HTTP redirects for example
* some invalid results
secondary=True allows to flag these errors as not important.
Report to the user suspended engines.
searx.search.processor.abstract:
* manages suspend time (per network).
* reports suspended time to the ResultContainer (method extend_container_if_suspended)
* adds the results to the ResultContainer (method extend_container)
* handles exceptions (method handle_exception)
settings.yml:
* outgoing.networks:
* can contains network definition
* propertiers: enable_http, verify, http2, max_connections, max_keepalive_connections,
keepalive_expiry, local_addresses, support_ipv4, support_ipv6, proxies, max_redirects, retries
* retries: 0 by default, number of times searx retries to send the HTTP request (using different IP & proxy each time)
* local_addresses can be "192.168.0.1/24" (it supports IPv6)
* support_ipv4 & support_ipv6: both True by default
see https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/1034
* each engine can define a "network" section:
* either a full network description
* either reference an existing network
* all HTTP requests of engine use the same HTTP configuration (it was not the case before, see proxy configuration in master)
use a sparql request on wikidata to get the list of currencies.
currencies.json contains the translation for all supported searx languages.
Supersede #993
* searx understand "!ddg !g time" as : send "!g time" to DDG
* !g a DDG bang for Google: DDG return a HTTP redirect to Google
This commit adds a the allows_redirect param not to follow HTTP redirect.
The DDG engine returns a empty result as before without HTTP redirect.
the query "time" is convinient because most of the search engine will return some results,
but some engines in the general category will return documentation about the HTML tags <time> or <input type="time">
from_bang is True when the user query contains a bang.
In this case the category is also set to 'none'.
from_bang only usage was in searx.webadapter.parse_specific :
if from_bang is True, then the EngineRef category is ignored and force to 'none'.
This commit also removes the searx.webadapter.parse_sepecific function.
see searx.search.processors.abstract.EngineProcessor
First the method searx call the get_params method.
If the return value is not None, then the searx call the method search.
