-   - :ref:`plugins generic`
-
-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
-
-   # 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, search):
-       search.result_container.suggestions.add('example')
-       return True
-
-External plugins
-================
-
-SearXNG supports *external plugins* / there is no need to install one, SearXNG
-runs out of the box.  But to demonstrate; in the example below we install the
-SearXNG plugins from *The Green Web Foundation* `[ref]
-<https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/searching-the-green-web-with-searx/>`__:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
-   $ sudo utils/searxng.sh instance cmd bash -c
-   (searxng-pyenv)$ pip install git+https://github.com/return42/tgwf-searx-plugins
-
-In the :ref:`settings.yml` activate the ``plugins:`` section and add module
-``only_show_green_results`` from ``tgwf-searx-plugins``.
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-   plugins:
-     ...
-     - only_show_green_results
-     ...
-
-
-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. A plugin doesn't need to implement all the hooks.
-
-
-.. py:function:: pre_search(request, search) -> bool
-
-   Runs BEFORE the search request.
-
-   `search.result_container` can be changed.
-
-   Return a boolean:
-
-   * True to continue the search
-   * False to stop the search
-
-   :param flask.request request:
-   :param searx.search.SearchWithPlugins search:
-   :return: False to stop the search
-   :rtype: bool
-
-
-.. py:function:: post_search(request, search) -> None
-
-   Runs AFTER the search request.
-
-   :param flask.request request: Flask request.
-   :param searx.search.SearchWithPlugins search: Context.
-
-
-.. py:function:: on_result(request, search, result) -> bool
-
-   Runs for each result of each engine.
-
-   `result` can be changed.
-
-   If `result["url"]` is defined, then `result["parsed_url"] = urlparse(result['url'])`
-
-   .. warning::
-      `result["url"]` can be changed, but `result["parsed_url"]` must be updated too.
-
-   Return a boolean:
-
-   * True to keep the result
-   * False to remove the result
-
-   :param flask.request request:
-   :param searx.search.SearchWithPlugins search:
-   :param typing.Dict result: Result, see - :ref:`engine results`
-   :return: True to keep the result
-   :rtype: bool
