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']``

* support_ipv4 & support_ipv6: both True by default
see https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/1034
* each engine can define a "network" section:
* either a full network description
* either reference an existing network
* all HTTP requests of engine use the same HTTP configuration (it was not the case before, see proxy configuration in master)
This patch is an addition to PR #2656 which removed all usage of `base_url` from
the templates, except one was forgotten in the cookie URL of the preferences.

I can't set `default_doi_resolver` in `settings.yml` if I'm using
`use_default_settings`. Searx seems to try to interpret all settings at root
level in `settings.yml` as dict, which is correct except for
`default_doi_resolver` which is at root level and a string::
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/searx/settings_loader.py", line 125, in load_settings
update_settings(default_settings, user_settings)
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/searx/settings_loader.py", line 61, in update_settings
update_dict(default_settings[k], v)
File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/searx/settings_loader.py", line 48, in update_dict
for k, v in user_dict.items():

The `url_for` function in the template context is not the one from Flask, it is
the one from `webapp`. The `webapp.url_for_theme` is different from its
namesake of Flask and has it quirks, when called with argument `_external=True`.
The `webapp.url_for_theme` can't handle absolute URLs since it pokes a leading
'/', here is the snippet of the old code::
url = url_for(endpoint, **values)
if settings['server']['base_url']:
if url.startswith('/'):
url = url[1:]
url = urljoin(settings['server']['base_url'], url)
Next drawback of (Flask's) `_external=True` is, that it will not return the HTTP
scheme when searx (the Flask app) listens on http and is proxied by a https
server.
To get the right scheme `HTTP_X_SCHEME` is needed by Flask (werkzeug). Since
this is not provided in every environment (e.g. behind Apache mod_wsgi or the
HTTP header is not fully set for some other reasons) it is recommended to
get *script_name*, *server* and *scheme* from the configured `base_url`. If
`base_url` is specified, then these values from are given preference over any
Flask's generics.
BTW this patch normalize to use `url_for` in the `opensearch.xml` and drop the
need of `host` and `urljoin` in template's context.
