[doc] rearranges Settings & Engines docs for better readability

2023-07-01T20:45:19+00:00

We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over
the past few years.  However, this documentation was still spread over various
chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety.

This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better
readability.

To review new ordered docs::

   make docs.clean docs.live

[fix] engine & network issues / documentation and type annotations

2023-06-25T11:58:26+00:00

This patch fixes some quirks and issues related to the engines and the network.
Each engine has its own network and this network was broken for the following
engines[1]:

- archlinux
- bing
- dailymotion
- duckduckgo
- google
- peertube
- startpage
- wikipedia

Since the files have been touched anyway, the type annotaions of the engine
modules has also been completed so that error messages from the type checker are
no longer reported.

[mod] limiter -> botdetection: modularization and documentation

2023-05-29T12:54:56+00:00

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.

[mod] replace engines_languages.json by engines_traits.json

2023-03-24T09:37:42+00:00

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*.
