|
|
|
|
Plugins can extend or replace functionality of various components of searx.
|
|
|
|
Example plugin
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
.. code:: python
|
|
|
|
name = 'Example plugin'
|
|
description = 'This plugin extends the suggestions with the word "example"'
|
|
default_on = False # disabled by default
|
|
|
|
js_dependencies = tuple() # optional, list of static js files
|
|
css_dependencies = tuple() # optional, list of static css files
|

|
# attach callback to the post search hook
|
|
# request: flask request object
|
|
# ctx: the whole local context of the post search hook
|
|
def post_search(request, ctx):
|
|
ctx['search'].suggestions.add('example')
|
|
return True
|

|
External plugins
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
External plugins are standard python modules implementing all the requirements of the standard plugins.
|
|
Plugins can be enabled by adding them to :ref:`settings.yml`'s ``plugins`` section.
|
|
Example external plugin can be found `here <https://github.com/asciimoo/searx_external_plugin_example>`_.
|
|
|
|
Register your plugin
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
To enable your plugin register your plugin in
|
|
searx > plugin > __init__.py.
|
|
And at the bottom of the file add your plugin like.
|
|
``plugins.register(name_of_python_file)``
|
|
|
|
Plugin entry points
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Entry points (hooks) define when a plugin runs. Right now only three hooks are
|
|
implemented. So feel free to implement a hook if it fits the behaviour of your
|
|
plugin.
|
|
|
|
Pre search hook
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Runs BEFORE the search request. Function to implement: ``pre_search``
|
|
|
|
Post search hook
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Runs AFTER the search request. Function to implement: ``post_search``
|
|
|
|
Result hook
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Runs when a new result is added to the result list. Function to implement:
|
|
``on_result``
|
