A blocklist and a passlist can be configured in /etc/searxng/limiter.toml::
[botdetection.ip_lists]
pass_ip = [
'51.15.252.168', # IPv4 of check.searx.space
]
block_ip = [
'93.184.216.34', # IPv4 of example.org
]

- counting requests in LONG_WINDOW and BURST_WINDOW is not needed when the
request is validated by the link_token method [1]
- renew a ping-key on validation [2], this is needed for infinite scrolling,
where no new token (CSS) is loaded. / this does not fix the BURST_MAX issue in
the vanilla limiter
- normalize the counter names of the ip_limit method to 'ip_limit.*'
- just integrate the ip_limit method straight forward in the limiter plugin /
non intermediate code --> ip_limit now returns None or a werkzeug.Response
object that can be passed by the plugin to the flask application / non
intermediate code that returns a tuple

In order to be able to meet the outstanding requirements, the implementation is
modularized and supplemented with documentation.
This patch does not contain functional change, except it fixes issue #2455
----
Aktivate limiter in the settings.yml and simulate a bot request by::
curl -H 'Accept-Language: de-DE,en-US;q=0.7,en;q=0.3' \
-H 'Accept: text/html'
-H 'User-Agent: xyz' \
-H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip' \
'http://127.0.0.1:8888/search?q=foo'
In the LOG:
DEBUG searx.botdetection.link_token : missing ping for this request: .....
Since ``BURST_MAX_SUSPICIOUS = 2`` you can repeat the query above two time
before you get a "Too Many Requests" response.
