Deny formats has been implemented in 6ed4616d.
To harden SearXNG instances by default, other formats than HTML should be
denied. Most of JSON, RSS and CSV requests are bots [1]::
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
instance.

Not all settings from the 'brand:' section of the YAML files are needed in the
shell scripts. This patch reduce the variables in ./utils/brand.env to what is
needed. The following ('brand:' settings) can be removed from this file:
- ISSUE_URL
- DOCS_URL
- PUBLIC_INSTANCES
- WIKI_URL
Tasks running outside of an *installed instance*, need the following settings
from the YAML configuration:
- GIT_URL <--> brand.git_url
- GIT_BRANCH <--> brand.git_branch
- SEARX_URL <--> server.base_url (aka PUBLIC_URL)
- SEARX_PORT <--> server.port
- SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS <--> server.bind_address

The usages of the searx.brand namespace has been removed, the searx.brand
namespace is now longer needed.
The searx.brand namespace was an interim solution which has been added in commit
9e53470b4, see commit message there ...
This patch is a first 'proof of concept'. Later we can decide to remove the
brand namespace entirely or not.

In the templates and the /config (JSON) the usage of the 'brand.*' name
space is replaced by 'searx.get_setting' function.
- new_issue_url --> get_setting('brand.new_issue_url')
- brand.GIT_URL --> get_setting('brand.git_url')
- brand.PUBLIC_INSTANCES --> get_setting('brand.public_instances')
- brand.DOCS_URL --> get_setting('brand.docs_url')
- brand.ISSUE_URL --> get_setting('brand.issue_url')
- brand.CONTACT_URL --> get_setting('general.contact_url', '')
The macro 'new_issue' from searx/templates/*/messages/no_results.html
is now imported with context::
{% from '__common__/new_issue.html' import new_issue with context %}
To get *public instances URL* from context's 'get_setting()' function::
get_setting('brand.public_instances','')
Macro's prototype does no longer need the 'new_issue_url' argument and has been
changed to::
macro new_issue(engine_name, engine_reliability)

Qwant is a fast and reliable search engine and AFAIK there is no CAPTCHA. Let
us enable Qwant engines by default.
Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>
The implementation uses the Qwant API (https://api.qwant.com/v3). The API is
undocumented but can be reverse engineered by reading the network log of
https://www.qwant.com/ queries.
This implementation is used by different qwant engines in the settings.yml::
- name: qwant
categories: general
...
- name: qwant news
categories: news
...
- name: qwant images
categories: images
...
- name: qwant videos

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
search results, pulling content_xpath from snippet-description instead of
snippet-content.

To compress saved preferences in the URL was introduced in 5f758b2d3 and
slightly fixed in 8f4401462. But the main fail was not fixed; The decompress
function returns a binary string and this binary should first be decoded to a
string before it is passed to urllib.parse_qs.

This patch disables role 'no-descending-specificity'. IMO it is better to have
this rule active (see below [1]), but it is hard to rewrite the less files to
pass this rule, so for the first I chose to disable this rule.
---
Source order is important in CSS, and when two selectors have the same
specificity, the one that occurs last will take priority. However, the situation
is different when one of the selectors has a higher specificity. In that case,
source order does not matter: the selector with higher specificity will win out
even if it comes first.
The clashes of these two mechanisms for prioritization, source order and
specificity, can cause some confusion when reading stylesheets. If a selector
with higher specificity comes before the selector it overrides, we have to think
harder to understand it, because it violates the source order
expectation. Stylesheets are most legible when overriding selectors always come
after the selectors they override. That way both mechanisms, source order and
specificity, work together nicely.
This rule enforces that practice as best it can, reporting fewer errors than it
should. It cannot catch every actual overriding selector, but it can catch
certain common mistakes.

In the EU there exists a "General Data Protection Regulation" [1] aka GDPR (BTW:
very user friendly!) which requires consent to tracking. To get the consent
from the user, google-news requests are redirected to confirm and get a CONSENT
Cookie from https://consent.google.de/s?continue=...
This patch adds a CONSENT Cookie to the google-news request to avoid
redirection.
The behavior of the CONTENTS cookies over all google engines seems similar but
the pattern is not yet fully clear to me, here are some random samples from my
analysis ..
Using common google search from different domains::
google.com: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+816
google.de: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+333
google.fr: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.fr+FX+826
When searching about videos (google-videos)::
google.es: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.es+FX+076
google.de: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.de+FX+171
Google news has only one domain for all languages::
news.google.com: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+816
Using google-scholar search from different domains::
scholar.google.de: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+333
scholar.google.fr: does not use such a cookie / did not ask the user
scholar.google.es: does not use such a cookie / did not ask the user
Interim summary:
Pattern is unclear and I won't apply the CONSENT cookie to all google engines.
More experience is need before we generalize the CONSENT cookies over all
google engines.

Before this commit, there are 3 node_modules directory:
* one in .
* two others in ./searx/statics/themes/*
This is no desirable:
* it declares the npm depdenencies in the shell script.
* dependabot can't updates theses dependencies.
* this is a not standard way to build a package (two different locations for the dependencies).
With this commit and the PR #150 there is one unique node_modules directory per theme.
This file is generated by webfont.
* It is now generated as searx/static/themes/simple/ion.less
* It is generated before the .less compilation.
* .gitignore includes this file
Add two new package depedencies: fontforge ttfautohint
See utils/searx.sh
the build of the themes updates:
* js/leaflet.js ( was leaflet/leaflet.js )
* css/leaflet.css ( was leaflet/leaflet.css )
* css/images ( was leaflet/images )
Same behaviour behaviour than Whoogle [1]. Only the google engine with the
"Default language" choice "(all)"" is changed by this patch.
When searching for a locate place, the result are in the expect language,
without missing results [2]:
> When a language is not specified, the language interpretation is left up to
> Google to decide how the search results should be delivered.
The query parameters are copied from Whoogle. With the ``all`` language:
- add parameter ``source=lnt``
- don't use parameter ``lr``
- don't add a ``Accept-Language`` HTTP header.
The new signature of function ``get_lang_info()`` is:
lang_info = get_lang_info(params, lang_list, custom_aliases, supported_any_language)
Argument ``supported_any_language`` is True for google.py and False for the other
google engines. With this patch the function now returns:
- query parameters: ``lang_info['params']``
- HTTP headers: ``lang_info['headers']``
- and as before this patch:
- ``lang_info['subdomain']``
- ``lang_info['country']``
- ``lang_info['language']``
