This patch implements two new commands:
install dot-config :
- copy ./config.sh to ${SEARX_SRC}
- implemented in new function install_DOT_CONFIG
install init-src:
- sync files (SEARX_SRC_INIT_FILES) with ${SEARX_SRC}
- implemented in new function init_SEARX_SRC()
new functions: verify_continue_install() and prompt_installation_status()
These functions are used in installation procedures to get the status of the
installation procedure. The status is based on the existing function:
usage: install_searx_get_state
Prompts a string indicating the status of the installation procedure
missing-searx-clone:
There is no clone at ${SEARX_SRC}
missing-searx-pyenv:
There is no pyenv in ${SEARX_PYENV}
installer-modified:
There are files modified locally in the installer (clone),
see ${SEARX_SRC_INIT_FILES} description.
python-installed:
Scripts can be executed in instance's environment
- user: ${SERVICE_USER}
- pyenv: ${SEARX_PYENV}

In commit 94851790 we have centralized all SearXNG setups in the settings.yml
file:
94851790 [mod] move brand options from Makefile to settings.yml
This step has not yet been completed for the installation procedures! Since all
SearXNG setups are done in the settings.yml these environment variables needs to
be removed from the ./conf.sh file. Scripts and other tasks running outside of
an instance got the needed values from the ./utils/brand.env file.
By example: ATM the environment variables of the ./config.sh file are in
conflict with them from settings.yml:
- PUBLIC_URL --> {server:base_url}
- SEARX_INTERNAL_HTTP --> {server:bind_address}.{server:port}
- GIT_BRANCH --> {brand:GIT_URL}
These environment variable of a SearXNG instance and additional
- SEARX_SETTINGS_TEMPLATE
has been remove from the '.config.sh' file. With this patch, the main focus of
./conf.sh resists on environment variables needed for the installation of morty,
filtron software.
modified .config.sh:
- removed no longer supported variables (see above)
- add comment about: SearXNG setup in settings.yml
modified utils/searx.sh:
- SEARX_INTERNAL_HTTP no longer take from .config.sh
- SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH /etc/searx/settings.yml
- SEARX_SETTINGS_TEMPLATE obsolete
modified utils/lib_install.sh:
Initialize environment variables SEARX_PYENV, SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH and
PUBLIC_URL.
modified: utils/morty.sh
Add missing hint about SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH and move PUBLIC_URL to
utils/lib_install.sh
modified: utils/morty.sh
Move PUBLIC_URL to utils/lib_install.sh
Renamed utils/templates/etc/searx/use_default_settings.yml -> settings.yml
- removed option which can't be modified after installation
- add some comments with examples

modified docs/admin/engines/settings.rst
- Fix documentation and add section 'brand'.
- Add remarks about **buildenv** variables.
- Add remarks about settings from environment variables $SEARX_DEBUG,
$SEARX_PORT, $SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS and $SEARX_SECRET
modified docs/admin/installation-searx.rst & docs/build-templates/searx.rst
Fix template location /templates/etc/searx/settings.yml
modified docs/dev/makefile.rst
Add description of the 'make buildenv' target and describe
- we have all SearXNG setups are centralized in the settings.yml file
- why some tasks need a utils/brand.env (aka instance's buildenv)
modified manage
Settings file from repository's working tree are used by default and
ask user if a /etc/searx/settings.yml file exists.
modified searx/settings.yml
Add comments about when it is needed to run 'make buildenv'
modified searx/settings_defaults.py
Default for server:port is taken from enviroment variable SEARX_PORT.
modified utils/build_env.py
- Some defaults in the settings.yml are taken from the environment,
e.g. SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS (searx.settings_defaults.SHEMA). When the
'brand.env' file is created these enviroment variables should be
unset first.
- The CONTACT_URL enviroment is not needed in the utils/brand.env

**new** utils/lib_install.sh:
Used to initialize installation procedures
- Modified source_dot_config function that
- loads .config.sh from an existing installation (at SEARX_SRC).
- initialize **SEARX_SRC_INIT_FILES**
- functions like:
- install_log_searx_instance()
- install_searx_get_state()
**modified** utils/searx.sh
- obsolete environment SEARX_INSTANCE_NAME has been replaced
by string 'SearXNG'.
**modified** utils/filtron.sh, utils/morty.sh, utils/searx.sh
- source utils/lib_install.sh
- normalize logging of environment variables using new function
install_log_searx_instance()
**modified** utils/lib.sh
- fix marginal typos
**Installation scripts**
The utils/lib_install.sh is sourced by the installations scripts:
- utils/searx.sh
- utils/morty.sh
- utils/filtron.sh
If '${SEARX_SRC}/.config.sh' exists, the modified source_dot_config() function
loads this configuration (instead of './.config.sh').
**SEARX_SRC_INIT_FILES**
Array of file names to sync into a installation at $SEARX_SRC. The file names
are relative to the $REPO_ROOT. Set by function init_SEARX_SRC_INIT_FILES().
Most often theses are files like:
- .config.sh
- searx/settings.yml
- utils/brand.env
- ...

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)

Added function searx.get_setting(name, default=_unset):
Returns the value to which ``name`` point. If there is no such name in the
settings and the ``default`` is unset, a KeyError exception is raised.

- make docs
- make buildenv
- make install (setup.py)

function.

Qwant is a fast and reliable search engine and AFAIK there is no CAPTCHA. Let
us enable Qwant engines by default.

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

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
