"""In addition to rewriting/replace reslut URLs, the *hoostnames* plugin offers
other features.
- ``hostnames.replace``: A mapping of regular expressions to hostnames to be
replaced by other hostnames.
- ``hostnames.remove``: A list of regular expressions of the hostnames whose
results should be taken from the results list.
- ``hostnames.high_priority``: A list of regular expressions for hostnames whose
result should be given higher priority. The results from these hosts are
arranged higher in the results list.
- ``hostnames.lower_priority``: A list of regular expressions for hostnames
whose result should be given lower priority. The results from these hosts are
arranged lower in the results list.
Alternatively, a file name can also be specified for the mappings or lists:
.. code:: yaml
hostnames:
replace: 'rewrite-hosts.yml'
remove:
- '(.*\\.)?facebook.com$'
...
low_priority:
- '(.*\\.)?google(\\..*)?$'
...
high_priority:
- '(.*\\.)?wikipedia.org$'
...
The ``rewrite-hosts.yml`` from the example above must be in the folder in which
the ``settings.yml`` file is already located (``/etc/searxng``). The file then
only contains the lists or the mapping tables without further information on the
namespaces. In the example above, this would be a mapping table that looks
something like this:
.. code:: yaml
'(.*\\.)?youtube\\.com$': 'invidious.example.com'
'(.*\\.)?youtu\\.be$': 'invidious.example.com'
