it prepares the new architecture change,
everything about multithreading in moved in the searx.search.* packages
previously the call to the "init" function of the engines was done in searx.engines:
* the network was not set (request not sent using the defined proxy)
* it requires to monkey patch the code to avoid HTTP requests during the tests
Xpath engine and results template changed to account for the fact that
archive.org doesn't cache .onions, though some onion engines migth have
their own cache.
Disabled by default. Can be enabled by setting the SOCKS proxies to
wherever Tor is listening and setting using_tor_proxy as True.
Requires Tor and updating packages.
To avoid manually adding the timeout on each engine, you can set
extra_proxy_timeout to account for Tor's (or whatever proxy used) extra
time.
