Since [bb3a01f8] has been merged to the Farside project, Farside instances do no
longer need to send requests to SearXNG instances [1].
There are some old unmaintained Farside instances on the web that continue to
query SearXNG instances --> we can safely block their requests.

When the user press [TAB] the input form should be filled with the highlighted
item from the autocomplete list, but not release a search / with other words:
what we now have by pressing once on [ENTER] should be mapped to the [TAB] key
and pressing [ENTER] once should release a search query. [1]

This PR does no functional change it is just an attempt to make more clear in
the code, what a default category is and what a subcategory is. The previous
name 'others' leads to confusion with the **category 'other'**.
If a engine is not assigned to a category, the default is assigned::
DEFAULT_CATEGORY = 'other'
If an engine has only one category and this category is shown as tab in the user
interface, this engine has no further subgrouping::
NO_SUBGROUPING = 'without further subgrouping'

When using ``use_default_settings: true``, removing default categories from
settings.yml will not remove them from the UI.
The value ``categories_as_tabs`` is a dictionary type (a4c2cfb) and dictionary
types are merged additive by ``settings_loader.update_settings()``.
This patch replaces the default ``categories_as_tabs`` by the one from the
``user_settings``.

This patch replaces the *full of magic* ``utils.match_language`` function by a
``locales.match_locale``. The ``locales.match_locale`` function is based on the
``locales.build_engine_locales`` introduced in 9ae409a0 [1].
In the past SearXNG did only support a search by a language but not in a region.
This has been changed a long time ago and regions have been added to SearXNG
core but not to the engines. The ``utils.match_language`` was the function to
handle the different aspects of language/regions in SearXNG core and the
supported *languages* in the engine. The ``utils.match_language`` did it with
some magic and works good for most use cases but fails in some edge case.
To replace the concurrence of languages and regions in the SearXNG core the
``locales.build_engine_locales`` was introduced in 9ae409a0 [1]. With the last
patches all engines has been migrated to a ``fetch_traits`` and a
language/region concept that is based on ``locales.build_engine_locales``.
To summarize: there is no longer a need for the ``locales.match_language``.

Partial reverse engineering of the Google engines including a improved language
and region handling based on the engine.traits_v1 data.
When ever possible the implementations of the Google engines try to make use of
the async REST APIs. The get_lang_info() has been generalized to a
get_google_info() function / especially the region handling has been improved by
adding the cr parameter.
searx/data/engine_traits.json
Add data type "traits_v1" generated by the fetch_traits() functions from:
- Google (WEB),
- Google images,
- Google news,
- Google scholar and
- Google videos
and remove data from obsolete data type "supported_languages".
A traits.custom type that maps region codes to *supported_domains* is fetched
from https://www.google.com/supported_domains
searx/autocomplete.py:
Reversed engineered autocomplete from Google WEB. Supports Google's languages and
subdomains. The old API suggestqueries.google.com/complete has been replaced
by the async REST API: https://{subdomain}/complete/search?{args}
searx/engines/google.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- always use the async REST API (formally known as 'use_mobile_ui')
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- improved the result list by fetching './/div[@data-content-feature]'
and parsing the type of the various *content features* --> thumbnails are
added
searx/engines/google_images.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- if exists, freshness_date is added to the result
- issue 1864: result list has been improved a lot (due to the new cr parameter)
searx/engines/google_news.py
Reverse engineering and extensive testing ..
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
*supported_domains* is not needed but a ceid list has been added.
- different region handling compared to Google WEB
- fixed for various languages & regions (due to the new ceid parameter) /
avoid CONSENT page
- Google News do no longer support time range
- result list has been fixed: XPath of pub_date and pub_origin
searx/engines/google_videos.py
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- add paging support
- implement a async request ('asearch': 'arc' & 'async':
'use_ac:true,_fmt:html')
- simplified code (thanks to '_fmt:html' request)
- issue 1359: fixed xpath of video length data
searx/engines/google_scholar.py
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from Google properties.
- use *supported_domains* from traits
- request(): include patents & citations
- response(): fixed CAPTCHA detection (Scholar has its own CATCHA manager)
- hardening XPath to iterate over results
- fixed XPath of pub_type (has been change from gs_ct1 to gs_cgt2 class)
- issue 1769 fixed: new request implementation is no longer incompatible

Partial reverse engineering of the DuckDuckGo (DDG) engines including a
improved language and region handling based on the enigne.traits_v1 data.
- DDG Lite
- DDG Instant Answer API
- DDG Images
- DDG Weather
docs/src/searx.engine.duckduckgo.rst:
Online documentation of the DDG engines (make docs.live)
searx/data/engine_traits.json
Add data type "traits_v1" generated by the fetch_traits() functions from:
- "duckduckgo" (WEB),
- "duckduckgo images" and
- "duckduckgo weather"
and remove data from obsolete data type "supported_languages".
searx/autocomplete.py:
Reversed engineered Autocomplete from DDG. Supports DDG's languages.
searx/engines/duckduckgo.py:
- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages & regions from DDG.
- get_ddg_lang(): Get DDG's language identifier from SearXNG's locale. DDG
defines its languages by region codes. DDG-Lite does not offer a language
selection to the user, only a region can be selected by the user.
- Cache ``vqd`` value: The vqd value depends on the query string and is needed
for the follow up pages or the images loaded by a XMLHttpRequest (DDG
images). The ``vqd`` value of a search term is stored for 10min in the
redis DB.
- DDG Lite engine: reversed engineered request method with improved Language
and region support and better ``vqd`` handling.
searx/engines/duckduckgo_definitions.py: DDG Instant Answer API
The *instant answers* API does not support languages, or at least we could not
find out how language support should work. It seems that most of the features
are based on English terms.
searx/engines/duckduckgo_images.py: DDG Images
Reversed engineered request method. Improved language and region handling
based on cookies and the enigne.traits_v1 data. Response: add image format to
the result list
searx/engines/duckduckgo_weather.py: DDG Weather
Improved language and region handling based on cookies and the
enigne.traits_v1 data.

One reason for the often seen CAPTCHA of the Startpage requests are the
incomplete requests SearXNG sends to startpage.com: this patch is a complete new
implementation of the ``request()`` function, reversed engineered from the
Startpage's search form. The new implementation:
- use traits of data_type: traits_v1 and drop deprecated data_type: supported_languages
- adds time-range support
- adds save-search support
- fix searxng/searxng/issues 1884
- fix searxng/searxng/issues 1081 --> improvements to avoid CAPTCHA
In preparation for more categories (News, Images, Videos ..) from Startpage, the
variable ``startpage_categ`` was set up. The default value is ``web`` and other
categories from Startpage are not yet implemented.
