Startpage has introduced new anti-scraping measures that make SearXNG instances
run into captchas:
1. some arguments has been removed and a new `sc` has been added.
2. search path changed from `do/search` to `sp/search`
3. POST request is no longer needed

The implementation of the etools engine is poor. No date-range support, no
language support and it is broken by a CAPTCHA.
etools is a metasearch engine, the major search engines it supports (google,
bing, wikipedia, Yahoo) are already available in SeaarXNG.
While etools does support several engines we currently don't support directly,
support for them should be added directly to SearXNG if there is demand.
In practice: in SearXNG the worse etools results will be mixed with good results
from other engines we have (as long as there is no captcha).
At best case, what we win with etools is in e.g. results from de.ask.com in a
query from a german request .. in all other cases worse results are bubble up in
SearXNG's result list.

The general category is the category that is searched by default.
From a privacy standpoint it doesn't make sense to send all general
queries to specialized search engines that cannot deal with those
queries anyway.
Previously we didn't have a good place to put search engines that don't
fit into any of the tab categories. This commit automatically puts
search engines that don't belong to any tab category in an "other"
category, that is only displayed in the user preferences (and not above
search results).
Previously all categories were displayed as search engine tabs.
This commit changes that so that only the categories listed under
categories_as_tabs in settings.yml are displayed.
This lets us introduce more categories without cluttering up the UI.
Categories not displayed as tabs can still be searched with !bangs.

The key of the dictionary 'searx.data.ENGINES_LANGUAGES' is the *engine name*
configured in settings.xml. When multiple engines are configured to use the
same origin engine (e.g. `engine: google`)::
- name: google
engine: google
use_mobile_ui: false
...
- name: google italian
engine: google
use_mobile_ui: false
language: it
...
- name: google mobile ui
engine: google
shortcut: gomui
use_mobile_ui: true
There exists no entry for ENGINES_LANGUAGES[engine.name] (e.g. `name: google
mobile ui` or `name: google italian`). This issue can be solved by recreate the
ENGINES_LANGUAGES::
make data.languages
But this is nothing an SearXNG admin would like to do when just configuring
additional engines, since this just doubles entries in ENGINES_LANGUAGES and
BTW: `make data.languages` has various external requirements which might be not
installed or not available, on a production host.
With this patch, if engine.name fails, ENGINES_LANGUAGES[engine.engine] is used
to get the engine.supported_languages (e.g. `google` for the engine named
`google mobile`).
For an engine, when there is `language: ...` in the YAML settings, the engine
supports only one language, in this case engine.supported_languages should
contains this value defined in settings.yml (e.g. `it` for the engine named
`google italian`).

the openstreetmap engine imports code from the wikidata engine.

with this commit searx.engines.load_engine makes sure the .logger is initialized.
The implementation scans sys.modules for module name starting with searx.engines.
close#298
This is a workaround: inside engine code, any call to function in another engine can crash
since the logger won't be initialized except if it is done explicitly.
Instead of raising an exception and therefore hiding all results of the engine.
It make sense to remove that requirement in order to allow the implementation of
search engines that do not always have a description. In fact some search
engines that in 99% of the case have a description like Brave Search or Mojeek
crash completely if they for some reason included a result with no description.

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.

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']``

Bing has a list of regions that it supports and some of these regions
may have more than one possible language.
In some cases, like Switzerland, these languages are always shown as
options, so there is no issue. But in other cases, like Andorra, Bing
will only show one language at the time, either the region's default or
the request's language if the latter is supported by that region.
For example, if the HTTP request is in French, Andorra will appear as
fr-AD but if the same page is requested in any other language Andorra
will appear as ca-AD.
This is specially a problem when Bing assumes that the request is in
English because it overrides enough language codes to make several major
languages like Arabic dissappear from the languages.py file.
To avoid that issue, I set the Accept-Language header to a language
that's only supported in one region to hopefully avoid these overrides.
At the moment videos without a description are not shown - setting
default content to "" fixes this.
Another current bug is that thumbnails are not displayed. This is caused
by a double slash in the url. For this every trailing slash is now
stripped (for backwards compatibility) and the API response is correctly
parsed.
