In [1] and [2] we discussed the need of a Result.results property and how we can
avoid unclear code. This patch implements a class for the reslut-lists of
engines::
searx.result_types.EngineResults
A simple example for the usage in engine development::
from searx.result_types import EngineResults
...
def response(resp) -> EngineResults:
res = EngineResults()
...
res.add( res.types.Answer(answer="lorem ipsum ..", url="https://example.org") )
...
return res

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.

The engine has been revised; there is now the option ``adobe_content_types``
with which it is possible to configure engines for video and audio from the
adobe stock. BTW this patch adds documentation to the engine.
To test all three engines in one use a search term like::
!asi !asv !asa sound

The quantities on the intro page were partly out of date / example; we already
have 210 engines and not just 70. To avoid having to change the quantities
manually in the future, they are now calculated from the jinja context

All favicons implementations have been documented and moved to the Python
package:
searx.favicons
There is a configuration (based on Pydantic) for the favicons and all its
components:
searx.favicons.config
A solution for caching favicons has been implemented:
searx.favicon.cache
If the favicon is already in the cache, the returned URL is a data URL [1]
(something like `data:image/png;base64,...`). By generating a data url from
the FaviconCache, additional HTTP roundtripps via the favicon_proxy are saved:
favicons.proxy.favicon_url
The favicon proxy service now sets a HTTP header "Cache-Control: max-age=...":
favicons.proxy.favicon_proxy
The resolvers now also provide the mime type (data, mime):
searx.favicon.resolvers

The intention of this PR is to modernize the settings_loader implementations.
The concept is old (remember, this is partly from 2014), back then we only had
one config file, meanwhile we have had a folder with config files for a very
long time. Callers can now load a YAML configuration from this folder as
follows ::
settings_loader.get_yaml_cfg('my-config.yml')
- BTW this is a fix of #3557.
- Further the `existing_filename_or_none` construct dates back to times when
there was not yet a `pathlib.Path` in all Python versions we supported in the
past.
- Typehints have been added wherever appropriate
At the same time, this patch should also be downward compatible and not
introduce a new environment variable. The localization of the folder with the
configurations is further based on:
SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH (wich defaults to /etc/searxng/settings.yml)
Which means, the default config folder is `/etc/searxng/`.
ATTENTION: intended functional changes!
If SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH was set and pointed to a not existing file, the
previous implementation silently loaded the default configuration. This
behavior has been changed: if the file or folder does not exist, an
EnvironmentError exception will be thrown in future.

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

babel.Locale.parse loads more than 60MB in RAM. The only purpose is to get:
LOCALE_NAMES - searx.data.LOCALES["LOCALE_NAMES"]
RTL_LOCALES - searx.data.LOCALES["RTL_LOCALES"]
This commit calls babel.Locale.parse when the translations are update from
weblate and stored in::
searx/data/locales.json
This file can be build by::
./manage data.locales
By store these variables in searx.data when the translations are updated we save
round about 65MB (usually 4 worker = 260MB of RAM saved.

In Presearch there are languages for the UI and regions for narrowing down the
search. With this change the SearXNG engine supports a search by region. The
details can be found in the documentation of the source code.
To test, you can search terms like::
!presearch bmw :zh-TW
!presearch bmw :en-CA
1. You should get results corresponding to the region (Taiwan, Canada)
2. and in the language (Chinese, Englisch).
3. The context in info box content is in the same language.
Exceptions:
1. Region or language is not supported by Presearch or
2. SearXNG user did not selected a region tag, example::
!presearch bmw :en

* Docker: add UWSGI_WORKERS and UWSGI_THREAD.
UWSGI_WORKERS specifies the number of process.
UWSGI_THREADS specifies the number of threads.
The Docker convention is to specify the whole configuration
through environment variables. While not done in SearXNG, these two
additional variables allows admins to skip uwsgi.ini
In additional, https://github.com/searxng/preview-environments starts Docker
without additional files through searxng-helm-chat.
Each instance consumes 1Go of RAM which is a lot especially when there are a
lot of instances / pull requests.
* [scripts] add environments UWSGI_WORKERS and UWSGI_THREADS
- UWSGI_WORKERS specifies the number of process.
- UWSGI_THREADS specifies the number of threads.
Templates for uwsgi scripts can be tested by::
UWSGI_WORKERS=8 UWSGI_THREADS=9 \
./utils/searxng.sh --cmd\
eval "echo \"$(cat utils/templates/etc/uwsgi/*/searxng.ini*)\""\
| grep "workers\|threads"
