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.

With the language and region tags from the EngineTraitsMap the handling of
SearXNG's tags of languages and regions has been normalized and is no longer
a *mystery*. The "languages" became "locales" that are supported by babel and
by this, the update_engine_traits.py can be simplified a lot.
Other code places can be simplified as well, but these simplifications
should (respectively can) only be done when none of the engines work with the
deprecated EngineTraits.supported_languages interface anymore.
This commit replaces searx.languages by searx.sxng_locales and fix the naming of
some names from "language" to "locale" (e.g. language_codes --> sxng_locales).

- fetch_traits(): Fetch languages from peertube's search-index source code.
[mod] Include migration of the request methode from 'supported_languages'
to 'traits' (EngineTraits) object.
[fix] old supported_languages_url is no longer valid since the sources
has been moved to a different path.
- fixed code to pass pylint
- request(): complete re-implementation based on the API docs [1]
- response(): complete re-implementation, adds serveral fields missed before
- add source code documentation

Implementations of the *traits* of the engines.
Engine's traits are fetched from the origin engine and stored in a JSON file in
the *data folder*. Most often traits are languages and region codes and their
mapping from SearXNG's representation to the representation in the origin search
engine.
To load traits from the persistence::
searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraitsMap.from_data()
For new traits new properties can be added to the class::
searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraits
.. hint::
Implementation is downward compatible to the deprecated *supported_languages
method* from the vintage implementation.
The vintage code is tagged as *deprecated* an can be removed when all engines
has been ported to the *traits method*.

When the user choose "Auto-detected", the choice remains on the following queries.
The detected language is displayed.
For example "Auto-detected (en)":
* the next query language is going to be auto detected
* for the current query, the detected language is English.
This replace the autodetect_search_language plugin.
- Add documentation to the plugin
- Harmonize FastText language model with SearXNG's language model

settings.yml:
* The default URL was unix:///usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock?db=0
* The default URL is now "false"
The default URL makes the log difficult to deal with:
if the admin didn't install a Redis instance, the logs record a false error.
It worked before because SearXNG initialized the Redis connection when the limiter started.
In this commit, SearXNG initializes Redis in searx/webapp.py
so various components can use Redis without taking care of the initialization step.
Most engines that support languages (and regions) use the Accept-Language from
the WEB browser to build a response that fits to the language (and region).
- add new engine option: send_accept_language_header

There are several reasons why we should prefer markdown-it-py over mistletoe:
- Get identical rendering results in SearXNG's `/info` pages and the SearXNG's
project documentation which is build by Sphinx-doc.
In the Sphinx-doc we use the MyST parser to render Markdown and the MyST
parser itself is built on top of the markdown-it-py package.
- markdown-it-py has a typographer that supports *replacements*
and *smartquotes* (e.g. em-dash, copyright, ellipsis, ...) [1]
- markdown-it-py is much more flexible compared to mistletoe [2]
- markdown-it-py is the fastest CommonMark compliant parser in python [3]

With this patch ``searxng.msg`` files can be added to SearXNG. In

This patch implements a bolierplate to share content from info-pages of the
SearXNG instance (URL /info) with the project documentation (path /docs/user).
The info pages are using Markdown (CommonMark), to include them in the project
documentation (reST) the myst-parser [1] is used in the Sphinx-doc build chain.
If base_url is known (defined in settings.yml) links to the instance are also
inserted into the project documentation::

The ? search operator has been broken for some time and
currently only raises the question why it's still there.
## Context ##
The query "Paris !images" searches for "Paris" in the "images" category.
Once upon a time Searx supported "Paris ?images" to search for "Paris"
in the currently enabled categories and the "images" category.
The feature makes sense ... the ? syntax does not.
We will hopefully introduce a +!images syntax in the future.
Fixes#702.
* allow not to record metrics (response time, etc...)
* this commit doesn't change the UI. If the metrics are disabled
/stats and /stats/errors will return empty response.
in /preferences, the columns response time and reliability will be empty.
The tab icon names are currently hard coded in the templates.
This commit lets us introduce an icon property in the future, e.g:
categories_as_tabs:
general:
icon: search-outline
Add a redis connector, the default DB connector is a socket at::
unix:///usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock?db=0
To set up a redis instance simply use::
$ ./manage redis.build
$ sudo -H ./manage redis.install
A hint for developers:
To get access rights to this instance, your developer account needs to be added
to the *searxng-redis* group::
$ sudo -H ./manage redis.addgrp "${USER}"
# don't forget to logout & login to get member of group

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.
Previously the documentation grouped the engines by their first
category so e.g. YouTube and Invidious were only shown in the
in the videos section but not in the music section.
This commit fixes this by iterating over searx.engines.categories,
which also has the added benefit that the sections are now in the
same order as the tabs in the user interface.
