2025-09-18[mod] addition of various type hints / engine processorsMarkus Heiser
Continuation of #5147 .. typification of the engine processors. BTW: - removed obsolete engine property https_support - fixed & improved currency_convert - engine instances can now implement a engine.setup method [#5147] https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/5147 Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>

- pyright configuration [1]_ - stub files: types-lxml [2]_ - addition of various type hints - enable use of new type system features on older Python versions [3]_ - ``.tool-versions`` - set python to lowest version we support (3.10.18) [4]_: Older versions typically lack some typing features found in newer Python versions. Therefore, for local type checking (before commit), it is necessary to use the older Python interpreter. .. [1] https://docs.basedpyright.com/v1.20.0/configuration/config-files/ ..

2025-01-28[refactor] typification of SearXNG (initial) / result items (part 1)Markus Heiser
Typification of SearXNG ======================= This patch introduces the typing of the results. The why and how is described in the documentation, please generate the documentation .. $ make docs.clean docs.live and read the following articles in the "Developer documentation": - result types --> http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/result_types/index.html The result types are available from the `searx.result_types` module. The following have been implemented so far: - base result type: `searx.result_type.Result` --> http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/result_types/base_result.html - answer results --> http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/result_types/answer.html including the type for translations (inspired by #3925). For all other types (which still need to be set up in subsequent PRs), template documentation has been created for the transition period. Doc of the fields used in Templates =================================== The template documentation is the basis for the typing and is the first complete documentation of the results (needed for engine development). It is the "working paper" (the plan) with which further typifications can be implemented in subsequent PRs. - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/357 Answer Templates ================ With the new (sub) types for `Answer`, the templates for the answers have also been revised, `Translation` are now displayed with collapsible entries (inspired by #3925). !en-de dog Plugins & Answerer ================== The implementation for `Plugin` and `Answer` has been revised, see documentation: - Plugin: http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/plugins/index.html - Answerer: http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/answerers/index.html With `AnswerStorage` and `AnswerStorage` to manage those items (in follow up PRs, `ArticleStorage`, `InfoStorage` and .. will be implemented) Autocomplete ============ The autocompletion had a bug where the results from `Answer` had not been shown in the past. To test activate autocompletion and try search terms for which we have answerers - statistics: type `min 1 2 3` .. in the completion list you should find an entry like `[de] min(1, 2, 3) = 1` - random: type `random uuid` .. in the completion list, the first item is a random UUID Extended Types ============== SearXNG extends e.g. the request and response types of flask and httpx, a module has been set up for type extensions: - Extended Types --> http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/extended_types.html Unit-Tests ========== The unit tests have been completely revised. In the previous implementation, the runtime (the global variables such as `searx.settings`) was not initialized before each test, so the runtime environment with which a test ran was always determined by the tests that ran before it. This was also the reason why we sometimes had to observe non-deterministic errors in the tests in the past: - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/2988 is one example for the Runtime issues, with non-deterministic behavior .. - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3650 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3654 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3642#issuecomment-2226884469 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3746#issuecomment-2300965005 Why msgspec.Struct ================== We have already discussed typing based on e.g. `TypeDict` or `dataclass` in the past: - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1562/files - https://gist.github.com/dalf/972eb05e7a9bee161487132a7de244d2 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1412/files - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1356 In my opinion, TypeDict is unsuitable because the objects are still dictionaries and not instances of classes / the `dataclass` are classes but ... The `msgspec.Struct` combine the advantages of typing, runtime behaviour and also offer the option of (fast) serializing (incl. type check) the objects. Currently not possible but conceivable with `msgspec`: Outsourcing the engines into separate processes, what possibilities this opens up in the future is left to the imagination! Internally, we have already defined that it is desirable to decouple the development of the engines from the development of the SearXNG core / The serialization of the `Result` objects is a prerequisite for this. HINT: The threads listed above were the template for this PR, even though the implementation here is based on msgspec. They should also be an inspiration for the following PRs of typification, as the models and implementations can provide a good direction. Why just one commit? ==================== I tried to create several (thematically separated) commits, but gave up at some point ... there are too many things to tackle at once / The comprehensibility of the commits would not be improved by a thematic separation. On the contrary, we would have to make multiple changes at the same places and the goal of a change would be vaguely recognizable in the fog of the commits.

2024-03-11[mod] pylint all files with one profile / drop PYLINT_SEARXNG_DISABLE_OPTIONMarkus Heiser
In the past, some files were tested with the standard profile, others with a profile in which most of the messages were switched off ... some files were not checked at all. - ``PYLINT_SEARXNG_DISABLE_OPTION`` has been abolished - the distinction ``# lint: pylint`` is no longer necessary - the pylint tasks have been reduced from three to two 1. ./searx/engines -> lint engines with additional builtins 2. ./searx ./searxng_extra ./tests -> lint all other python files Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>

2023-08-09[fix] make flask_babel.gettext() work in engine modules (L10n & threads)Markus Heiser
incident: flask_babel.gettext() does not work in the engine modules. cause: the request() and response() functions of the engine modules run in the processor, whose search() method runs in a thread and in the threads the context of the Flask app does not exist. The context of the Flask app is needed by the gettext() function for the L10n. Solution: copy context of the Flask app into the threads. [1] special case: We cannot equip the search() method of the processors with the decorator [1], because the decorator requires a context (Flask app) that does not yet exist at the time of the initialization of the processors (the initialization of the processors is part of the initialization of the Flask app).

2023-04-15[mod] move language recognition to get_search_query_from_webappMarkus Heiser
To set the language from language recognition and hold the value selected by the client, the previous implementation creates a copy of the SearchQuery object and manipulates the SearchQuery object by calling function replace_auto_language(). This patch tries to implement a similar functionality in a more central place, in function get_search_query_from_webapp() when the SearchQuery object is build up. Additional this patch uses the language preferred by the client, if language recognition does not have a match / the existing implementation does not care about client preferences and uses 'all' in case of no match.

2021-09-09[mod] plugin: call on_result after each engine from the ResultContainerAlexandre Flament
Currently, searx.search.Search calls on_result once the engine results have been merged (ResultContainer.order_results). on_result plugins can rewrite the results: once the URL(s) are modified, even they can be merged, it won't be the case since ResultContainer.order_results has already be called. This commit call on_result inside for each result of each engines. In addition the on_result function can return False to remove the result. Note: the on_result function now run on the engine thread instead of the Flask thread.

2020-12-18[mod] searx.search.EngineRef: remove from_bang parameterAlexandre Flament
from_bang is True when the user query contains a bang. In this case the category is also set to 'none'. from_bang only usage was in searx.webadapter.parse_specific : if from_bang is True, then the EngineRef category is ignored and force to 'none'.
