Command Line Engines
|

====================

.. sidebar:: info

- :origin:`command.py <searx/engines/command.py>`
|
||||
- :ref:`offline engines`
|
||||
|
||||
With *command engines* administrators can run engines to integrate arbitrary
|
||||
shell commands.
|
||||
|
||||
When creating and enabling a ``command`` engine on a public instance, you must
|
||||
be careful to avoid leaking private data. The easiest solution is to limit the
|
||||
access by setting ``tokens`` as described in section :ref:`private engines`.
|
||||
|
||||
The engine base is flexible. Only your imagination can limit the power of this
|
||||
engine (and maybe security concerns). The following options are available:
|
||||
|
||||
``command``:
|
||||
A comma separated list of the elements of the command. A special token
|
||||
``{{QUERY}}`` tells where to put the search terms of the user. Example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
['ls', '-l', '-h', '{{QUERY}}']
|
||||
|
||||
``delimiter``:
|
||||
A mapping containing a delimiter ``char`` and the *titles* of each element in
|
||||
``keys``.
|
||||
|
||||
``parse_regex``:
|
||||
A dict containing the regular expressions for each result key.
|
||||
|
||||
``query_type``:
|
||||
|
||||
The expected type of user search terms. Possible values: ``path`` and
|
||||
``enum``.
|
||||
|
||||
``path``:
|
||||
Checks if the user provided path is inside the working directory. If not,
|
||||
the query is not executed.
|
||||
|
||||
``enum``:
|
||||
Is a list of allowed search terms. If the user submits something which is
|
||||
not included in the list, the query returns an error.
|
||||
|
||||
``query_enum``:
|
||||
A list containing allowed search terms if ``query_type`` is set to ``enum``.
|
||||
|
||||
``working_dir``:
|
||||
|
||||
The directory where the command has to be executed. Default: ``./``
|
||||
|
||||
``result_separator``:
|
||||
The character that separates results. Default: ``\n``
|
||||
|
||||
The example engine below can be used to find files with a specific name in the
|
||||
configured working directory:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name: find
|
||||
engine: command
|
||||
command: ['find', '.', '-name', '{{QUERY}}']
|
||||
query_type: path
|
||||
shortcut: fnd
|
||||
delimiter:
|
||||
chars: ' '
|
||||
keys: ['line']

Private Engines (``tokens``)
|
||||
============================
|
||||
|
||||
Administrators might find themselves wanting to limit access to some of the
|
||||
enabled engines on their instances. It might be because they do not want to
|
||||
expose some private information through :ref:`offline engines`. Or they would
|
||||
rather share engines only with their trusted friends or colleagues.
|
||||
|
||||
To solve this issue the concept of *private engines* exists.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
A new option was added to engines named `tokens`. It expects a list of
|
||||
strings. If the user making a request presents one of the tokens of an engine,
|
||||
they can access information about the engine and make search requests.
|
||||
|
||||
Example configuration to restrict access to the Arch Linux Wiki engine:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name: arch linux wiki
|
||||
engine: archlinux
|
||||
shortcut: al
|
||||
tokens: [ 'my-secret-token' ]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Unless a user has configured the right token, the engine is going
|
||||
to be hidden from him/her. It is not going to be included in the
|
||||
list of engines on the Preferences page and in the output of
|
||||
`/config` REST API call.
|
||||
|
||||
Tokens can be added to one's configuration on the Preferences page
|
||||
under "Engine tokens". The input expects a comma separated list of
|
||||
strings.
|
||||
|
||||
The distribution of the tokens from the administrator to the users
|
||||
is not carved in stone. As providing access to such engines
|
||||
implies that the admin knows and trusts the user, we do not see
|
||||
necessary to come up with a strict process. Instead,
|
||||
we would like to add guidelines to the documentation of the feature.

Administrators might find themselves wanting to integrate locally running search
|
||||
engines. The following ones are supported for now:
|
||||
|
||||
* `Elasticsearch`_
|
||||
* `Meilisearch`_
|
||||
* `Solr`_
|
||||
|
||||
Each search engine is powerful, capable of full-text search. All of the engines
|
||||
above are added to ``settings.yml`` just commented out, as you have to
|
||||
``base_url`` for all them.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that if you are not using HTTPS to access these engines, you have to enable
|
||||
HTTP requests by setting ``enable_http`` to ``True``.
|
||||
|
||||
Futhermore, if you do not want to expose these engines on a public instance, you
|
||||
can still add them and limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described in
|
||||
section :ref:`private engines`.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
MeiliSearch_ is aimed at individuals and small companies. It is designed for
|
||||
small-scale (less than 10 million documents) data collections. E.g. it is great
|
||||
for storing web pages you have visited and searching in the contents later.
|
||||
|
||||
The engine supports faceted search, so you can search in a subset of documents
|
||||
of the collection. Furthermore, you can search in MeiliSearch_ instances that
|
||||
require authentication by setting ``auth_token``.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a simple example to query a Meilisearch instance:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name: meilisearch
|
||||
engine: meilisearch
|
||||
shortcut: mes
|
||||

||||

||||
|
||||

||||
- :origin:`elasticsearch.py <searx/engines/elasticsearch.py>`

- `Install Elasticsearch
|

<https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/install-elasticsearch.html>`_
|
||||
|
||||
Elasticsearch_ supports numerous ways to query the data it is storing. At the
|
||||
moment the engine supports the most popular search methods (``query_type``):
|
||||
|
||||
- ``match``,
|
||||
- ``simple_query_string``,
|
||||
- ``term`` and
|
||||
- ``terms``.
|
||||
|
||||
If none of the methods fit your use case, you can select ``custom`` query type
|
||||
and provide the JSON payload to submit to Elasticsearch in
|
||||
``custom_query_json``.
|
||||
|
||||
The following is an example configuration for an Elasticsearch_ instance with
|
||||
authentication configured to read from ``my-index`` index.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name: elasticsearch
|
||||
shortcut: es
|
||||
engine: elasticsearch
|
||||
base_url: http://localhost:9200
|
||||
username: elastic
|
||||
password: changeme
|
||||
index: my-index
|
||||
query_type: match
|
||||
# custom_query_json: '{ ... }'
|
||||
enable_http: true

|
||||
|
||||
Solr_ is a popular search engine based on Lucene, just like Elasticsearch_. But
|
||||
instead of searching in indices, you can search in collections.
|
||||
|
||||
This is an example configuration for searching in the collection
|
||||
``my-collection`` and get the results in ascending order.
|
||||
|
||||

Installation guide can be found in the repository of searx-admin_.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the biggest advantages of searx is being extremely customizable. But at
|
||||
first it can be daunting to newcomers. A barrier of taking advantage of this
|
||||
feature is our ugly settings file which is sometimes hard to understand and
|
||||
edit.
|
||||
|
||||
To make self-hosting searx more accessible a new tool is introduced, called
|
||||
``searx-admin``. It is a web application which is capable of managing your
|
||||
instance and manipulating its settings via a web UI. It aims to replace editing
|
||||
of ``settings.yml`` for less experienced administrators or people who prefer
|
||||
graphical admin interfaces.

:alt: Screenshot of engine list
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration page of engines
|
||||
|
||||
Since ``searx-admin`` acts as a supervisor for searx, we have decided to
|
||||
implement it as a standalone tool instead of part of searx. Another reason for
|
||||
making it a standalone tool is that the codebase and dependencies of searx
|
||||
should not grow because of a fully optional feature, which does not affect
|
||||
existing instances.

Running shell commands to fetch results
|
||||
========================================
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, with searx you could search over the Internet on other people's
|
||||
computers. Now it is possible to fetch results from your local machine without
|
||||
connecting to any networks from the same graphical user interface.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Command line engines
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
In :pull-searx:`2128` a new type of engine has been introduced called ``command``.
|
||||
This engine lets administrators add engines which run arbitrary shell commands
|
||||
and show its output on the web UI of searx.
|
||||
|
||||
When creating and enabling a ``command`` engine on a public searx instance,
|
||||
you must be careful to avoid leaking private data. The easiest solution
|
||||
is to add tokens to the engine. Thus, only those who have the appropriate token
|
||||
can retrieve results from the it.
|
||||
|
||||
The engine base is flexible. Only your imagination can limit the power of this engine. (And
|
||||
maybe security concerns.) The following options are available:
|
||||
|
||||
* ``command``: A comma separated list of the elements of the command. A special token {{QUERY}} tells searx where to put the search terms of the user. Example: ``['ls', '-l', '-h', '{{QUERY}}']``
|
||||
* ``delimiter``: A dict containing a delimiter char and the "titles" of each element in keys.
|
||||
* ``parse_regex``: A dict containing the regular expressions for each result key.
|
||||
* ``query_type``: The expected type of user search terms. Possible values: ``path`` and ``enum``. ``path`` checks if the uesr provided path is inside the working directory. If not the query is not executed. ``enum`` is a list of allowed search terms. If the user submits something which is not included in the list, the query returns an error.
|
||||
* ``query_enum``: A list containing allowed search terms if ``query_type`` is set to ``enum``.
|
||||
* ``working_dir``: The directory where the command has to be executed. Default: ``.``
|
||||
* ``result_separator``: The character that separates results. Default: ``\n``
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The example engine below can be used to find files with a specific name in the configured
|
||||
working directory.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name: find
|
||||
engine: command
|
||||
command: ['find', '.', '-name', '{{QUERY}}']
|
||||
query_type: path
|
||||
shortcut: fnd
|
||||
delimiter:
|
||||
chars: ' '
|
||||
keys: ['line']
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next steps
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
In the next milestone, support for local search engines and indexers (e.g. Elasticsearch)
|
||||
are going to be added. This way, you will be able to query your own databases/indexers.

Preparation for offline engines
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
Offline engines
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
To extend the functionality of searx, offline engines are going to be
|
||||
introduced. An offline engine is an engine which does not need Internet
|
||||
connection to perform a search and does not use HTTP to communicate.
|
||||
|
||||
Offline engines can be configured as online engines, by adding those to the
|
||||
`engines` list of :origin:`settings.yml <searx/settings.yml>`. Thus, searx
|
||||
finds the engine file and imports it.
|
||||
|
||||
Example skeleton for the new engines:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: python
|
||||
|
||||
from subprocess import PIPE, Popen
|
||||
|
||||
categories = ['general']
|
||||
offline = True
|
||||
|
||||
def init(settings):
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
def search(query, params):
|
||||
process = Popen(['ls', query], stdout=PIPE)
|
||||
return_code = process.wait()
|
||||
if return_code != 0:
|
||||
raise RuntimeError('non-zero return code', return_code)
|
||||
|
||||
results = []
|
||||
line = process.stdout.readline()
|
||||
while line:
|
||||
result = parse_line(line)
|
||||
results.append(results)
|
||||
|
||||
line = process.stdout.readline()
|
||||
|
||||
return results
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Development progress
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
First, a proposal has been created as a Github issue. Then it was moved to the
|
||||
wiki as a design document. You can read it here: :wiki:`Offline-engines`.
|
||||
|
||||
In this development step, searx core was prepared to accept and perform offline
|
||||
searches. Offline search requests are scheduled together with regular offline
|
||||
requests.
|
||||
|
||||
As offline searches can return arbitrary results depending on the engine, the
|
||||
current result templates were insufficient to present such results. Thus, a new
|
||||
template is introduced which is caplable of presenting arbitrary key value pairs
|
||||
as a table. You can check out the pull request for more details see
|
||||
:pull-searx:`1700`.
|
||||
|
||||
Next steps
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
Today, it is possible to create/run an offline engine. However, it is going to be publicly available for everyone who knows the searx instance. So the next step is to introduce token based access for engines. This way administrators are able to limit the access to private engines.

==================================
|
||||
Limit access to your searx engines
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
Administrators might find themselves wanting to limit access to some of the
|
||||
enabled engines on their instances. It might be because they do not want to
|
||||
expose some private information through an offline engine. Or they
|
||||
would rather share engines only with their trusted friends or colleagues.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _private engines:
|
||||
|
||||
Private engines
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
To solve this issue private engines were introduced in :pull-searx:`1823`.
|
||||
A new option was added to engines named `tokens`. It expects a list
|
||||
of strings. If the user making a request presents one of the tokens
|
||||
of an engine, they can access information about the engine
|
||||
and make search requests.
|
||||
|
||||
Example configuration to restrict access to the Arch Linux Wiki engine:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name : arch linux wiki
|
||||
engine : archlinux
|
||||
shortcut : al
|
||||
tokens : [ 'my-secret-token' ]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Unless a user has configured the right token, the engine is going
|
||||
to be hidden from him/her. It is not going to be included in the
|
||||
list of engines on the Preferences page and in the output of
|
||||
`/config` REST API call.
|
||||
|
||||
Tokens can be added to one's configuration on the Preferences page
|
||||
under "Engine tokens". The input expects a comma separated list of
|
||||
strings.
|
||||
|
||||
The distribution of the tokens from the administrator to the users
|
||||
is not carved in stone. As providing access to such engines
|
||||
implies that the admin knows and trusts the user, we do not see
|
||||
necessary to come up with a strict process. Instead,
|
||||
we would like to add guidelines to the documentation of the feature.
|
||||
|
||||
Next steps
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
Now that searx has support for both offline engines and private engines,
|
||||
it is possible to add concrete engines which benefit from these features.
|
||||
For example engines which search on the local host running the instance.
|
||||
Be it searching your file system or querying a private database. Be creative
|
||||
and come up with new solutions which fit your use case.

Introducing Python 3 support
|

.. _Python 2.7 clock: https://pythonclock.org/
|

|
||||
.. sidebar:: Python 2.7 to 3 upgrade
|

|
||||
This chapter exists of historical reasons. Python 2.7 release schedule ends
|
||||
(`Python 2.7 clock`_) after 11 years Python 3 exists
|
||||
|
||||
As most operation systems are coming with Python3 installed by default. So it is
|
||||
time for searx to support Python3. But don't worry support of Python2.7 won't be
|
||||
dropped.

How to run searx using Python 3
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
Please make sure that you run at least Python 3.5.
|
||||
|
||||
To run searx, first a Python3 virtualenv should be created. After entering the
|
||||
virtualenv, dependencies and searx must be installed. Then run searx from the
|
||||
command line.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: sh
|
||||
|
||||
python3 -m venv venv3
|
||||
source venv3/bin/activate
|
||||
pip install -U pip setuptools wheel pyyaml
|
||||
pip install -e .
|
||||
searx-run
|
||||
|
||||
Fun facts
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
- 115 files were changed when implementing the support for both Python versions.
|
||||
|
||||
- All of the dependencies was compatible except for the robotframework used for
|
||||
browser tests. Thus, these tests were migrated to splinter. So from now on
|
||||
both versions are being tested on Travis and can be tested locally.
|
||||
|
||||
If you found bugs
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Please open an issue on `GitHub`_. Make sure that you mention your Python
|
||||
version in your issue, so we can investigate it properly.

===============================

Query your local search engines
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
From now on, searx lets you to query your locally running search engines. The following
|
||||
ones are supported now:
|
||||
|
||||
* `Elasticsearch`_
|
||||
* `Meilisearch`_
|
||||
* `Solr`_
|
||||
|
||||
All of the engines above are added to ``settings.yml`` just commented out, as you have to
|
||||
``base_url`` for all them.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that if you are not using HTTPS to access these engines, you have to enable
|
||||
HTTP requests by setting ``enable_http`` to ``True``.
|
||||
|
||||
Futhermore, if you do not want to expose these engines on a public instance, you can
|
||||
still add them and limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described in the `blog post about
|
||||
private engines`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuring searx for search engines
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
Each search engine is powerful, capable of full-text search.
|
||||
|
||||
Elasticsearch
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Elasticsearch supports numerous ways to query the data it is storing. At the moment
|
||||
the engine supports the most popular search methods: ``match``, ``simple_query_string``, ``term`` and ``terms``.
|
||||
|
||||
If none of the methods fit your use case, you can select ``custom`` query type and provide the JSON payload
|
||||
searx has to submit to Elasticsearch in ``custom_query_json``.
|
||||
|
||||
The following is an example configuration for an Elasticsearch instance with authentication
|
||||
configured to read from ``my-index`` index.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name : elasticsearch
|
||||
shortcut : es
|
||||
engine : elasticsearch
|
||||
base_url : http://localhost:9200
|
||||
username : elastic
|
||||
password : changeme
|
||||
index : my-index
|
||||
query_type : match
|
||||
enable_http : True
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Meilisearch
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
This search engine is aimed at individuals and small companies. It is designed for
|
||||
small-scale (less than 10 million documents) data collections. E.g. it is great for storing
|
||||
web pages you have visited and searching in the contents later.
|
||||
|
||||
The engine supports faceted search, so you can search in a subset of documents of the collection.
|
||||
Futhermore, you can search in Meilisearch instances that require authentication by setting ``auth_token``.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is a simple example to query a Meilisearch instance:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name : meilisearch
|
||||
engine : meilisearch
|
||||
shortcut: mes
|
||||
base_url : http://localhost:7700
|
||||
index : my-index
|
||||
enable_http: True
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Solr
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Solr is a popular search engine based on Lucene, just like Elasticsearch.
|
||||
But instead of searching in indices, you can search in collections.
|
||||
|
||||
This is an example configuration for searching in the collection ``my-collection`` and get
|
||||
the results in ascending order.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
- name : solr
|
||||
engine : solr
|
||||
shortcut : slr
|
||||
base_url : http://localhost:8983
|
||||
collection : my-collection
|
||||
sort : asc
|
||||
enable_http : True
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Next steps
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
The next step is to add support for various SQL databases.

Offline Engines
|

===============
|

|
||||
.. sidebar:: offline engines
|
||||
|
||||
- :ref:`demo offline engine`
|

- :ref:`sql engines`
|

- :ref:`engine command`
|
||||
- :origin:`Redis <searx/engines/redis_server.py>`
|
||||
|
||||
To extend the functionality of SearxNG, offline engines are going to be
|
||||
introduced. An offline engine is an engine which does not need Internet
|
||||
connection to perform a search and does not use HTTP to communicate.
|
||||
|
||||
Offline engines can be configured, by adding those to the `engines` list of
|
||||
:origin:`settings.yml <searx/settings.yml>`. An example skeleton for offline
|
||||
engines can be found in :ref:`demo offline engine` (:origin:`demo_offline.py
|
||||
<searx/engines/demo_offline.py>`).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Programming Interface
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
:py:func:`init(engine_settings=None) <searx.engines.demo_offline.init>`
|
||||
All offline engines can have their own init function to setup the engine before
|
||||
accepting requests. The function gets the settings from settings.yml as a
|
||||
parameter. This function can be omitted, if there is no need to setup anything
|
||||
in advance.
|
||||
|
||||
:py:func:`search(query, params) <searx.engines.demo_offline.searc>`
|
||||
|
||||
Each offline engine has a function named ``search``. This function is
|
||||
responsible to perform a search and return the results in a presentable
|
||||
format. (Where *presentable* means presentable by the selected result
|
||||
template.)
|
||||
|
||||
The return value is a list of results retrieved by the engine.
|
||||
|
||||
Engine representation in ``/config``
|
||||
If an engine is offline, the attribute ``offline`` is set to ``True``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _offline requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
Extra Dependencies
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
If an offline engine depends on an external tool, SearxNG does not install it by
|
||||
default. When an administrator configures such engine and starts the instance,
|
||||
the process returns an error with the list of missing dependencies. Also,
|
||||
required dependencies will be added to the comment/description of the engine, so
|
||||
admins can install packages in advance.
|
||||
|
||||
If there is a need to install additional packages in *Python's Virtual
|
||||
Environment* of your SearxNG instance you need to switch into the environment
|
||||
(:ref:`searx-src`) first, for this you can use :ref:`searx.sh`::
|
||||
|
||||
$ sudo utils/searx.sh shell
|
||||
(searx-pyenv)$ pip install ...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Private engines (Security)
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
To limit the access to offline engines, if an instance is available publicly,
|
||||
administrators can set token(s) for each of the :ref:`private engines`. If a
|
||||
query contains a valid token, then SearxNG performs the requested private
|
||||
search. If not, requests from an offline engines return errors.

||||
