In Presearch there are languages for the UI and regions for narrowing down the
search. With this change the SearXNG engine supports a search by region. The
details can be found in the documentation of the source code.
To test, you can search terms like::
!presearch bmw :zh-TW
!presearch bmw :en-CA
1. You should get results corresponding to the region (Taiwan, Canada)
2. and in the language (Chinese, Englisch).
3. The context in info box content is in the same language.
Exceptions:
1. Region or language is not supported by Presearch or
2. SearXNG user did not selected a region tag, example::
!presearch bmw :en

DDG's bot detection is sensitive to the vqd value. For some search terms (such
as extremely long search terms that are often sent by bots), no vqd value can be
determined.
If SearXNG cannot determine a vqd value, then no request should go out to
DDG (WEB): a request with a wrong vqd value leads to DDG temporarily putting
SearXNG's IP on a block list.
Requests from IPs in this block list run into timeouts.
Not sure, but it seems the block list is a sliding window: to get my IP rid from
the bot list I had to cool down my IP for 1h (send no requests from that IP to
DDG).
Since such issues can't reproduce in a local instance I tested this patch 24h on
my public SearXNG instance: There are still errors (rare), but the reliability
is still 100%.

Some search terms do not have results and therefore no vqd value

We have had problems with this before, the bot protection from ddg-lite seems to
have included this referer in the rating [1][2].
From reverse engineering:
- The Referer ``https://google.com/`` was set in commt 257dc7d6c4 --> DDG lite
does not like this referer anymore!
- The 'Referer' header is only set on second and follow up pages but not on the
first page
- The vqd value is not needed on the first page, the ddg-lite client sets this
value only on follow up pages / this can help to reduce the vqd requests from
SearXNG.

Instead of thumbnail use img_src in the result item, otherwise the "movies"
categories looks clunky.

Crossref was broken on result types journal-issue and component .. The old code
had lots of assumptions, and broke during parsing. Now the assumptions are more
explicit and checked them with the API.
Remove the usage of searx.network.multi_requests
The results from Bing contains the target URL encoded in base64
See the u parameter, remove the first two character "a1", and done.
Also add a comment the check of the result_len / pageno
( from https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/1387 )
It seems there is an API change:
extratags can be either a dictionnary or None.
This commit avoid crash when extratags is None
Test query "!osm gare du nord"
The method EngineTraits.get_region(..) returns engine's region string
that **best fits** to SearXNG's locale. This means it returns a
region (country) if only a language is set in the locale. By example the method
returns for a locale tag `es` a region `ES`.
Google's search parameter `cr` restricts search results to documents originating
in a particular country / in case of a locale tag (language) as described above,
this argument should be unset in the query send to Google.

Disable btdigg because on most SearXNG instances, SearXNG is blocked by btdigg
due to cloudflare too many requests.
This impementation did not parse the HTML page because there is an API in
XML (RSS). The RSS feed provides fewer data like amount of seeders/leechers and
the files in the torrent file. It's a tradeoff for a "stable" engine as the XML
from RSS content will change way less than the HTML page.
Closes: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/2553
SearXNG does not allow a None value in the content field of a result item.
If the key (shortDescription, uploaderName) in the JSON response from piped
exists but is set to None, SearXNG ignores this result item::

- re-enables z-library as the new domain zlibrary-global.se is now available
from the open web. The announcement of the domain:
https://www.reddit.com/r/zlibrary/comments/13whe08/mod_note_zlibraryglobalse_domain_is_officially/
It is an official domain, it requires to log in to the "personal" subdomain
only to download files, but the search works.
- changes the result template of zlibrary to paper.html, filling the appropriate fields
- implements language filtering for zlibrary
- implement zlibrary custom filters (engine traits)
- refactor and document the zlibrary engine
We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years. However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.
This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.
