modified docs/admin/engines/settings.rst
- Fix documentation and add section 'brand'.
- Add remarks about **buildenv** variables.
- Add remarks about settings from environment variables $SEARX_DEBUG,
$SEARX_PORT, $SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS and $SEARX_SECRET
modified docs/admin/installation-searx.rst & docs/build-templates/searx.rst
Fix template location /templates/etc/searx/settings.yml
modified docs/dev/makefile.rst
Add description of the 'make buildenv' target and describe
- we have all SearXNG setups are centralized in the settings.yml file
- why some tasks need a utils/brand.env (aka instance's buildenv)
modified manage
Settings file from repository's working tree are used by default and
ask user if a /etc/searx/settings.yml file exists.
modified searx/settings.yml
Add comments about when it is needed to run 'make buildenv'
modified searx/settings_defaults.py
Default for server:port is taken from enviroment variable SEARX_PORT.
modified utils/build_env.py
- Some defaults in the settings.yml are taken from the environment,
e.g. SEARX_BIND_ADDRESS (searx.settings_defaults.SHEMA). When the
'brand.env' file is created these enviroment variables should be
unset first.
- The CONTACT_URL enviroment is not needed in the utils/brand.env

Qwant is a fast and reliable search engine and AFAIK there is no CAPTCHA. Let
us enable Qwant engines by default.
Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>
The implementation uses the Qwant API (https://api.qwant.com/v3). The API is
undocumented but can be reverse engineered by reading the network log of
https://www.qwant.com/ queries.
This implementation is used by different qwant engines in the settings.yml::
- name: qwant
categories: general
...
- name: qwant news
categories: news
...
- name: qwant images
categories: images
...
- name: qwant videos
categories: videos

The engine was added in commit a4b07460 but now it shows new issues [1].
In the 90'th of the last century, dogpile had its own WEB index, but nowadays it
is a meta-search engine [2]
Powered by technology, Dogpile returns all the best results from leading
search engines including Google and Yahoo!
Using dogpile as an engine in SearXNG needs more investigation, a XPath solution
like we have is not enough. It is questionable whether it still makes sense to
investigate more into a meta-search engine with a ReCAPTCHA in front.
With this patch the dogpile engine is removed

Engine just for Podcasts. An API which returns Podcasts and their Info like:
website, author etc.
Upstream query example: https://gpodder.net/search.json?q=linux
Added synonyme.woxikon.de using the xpath engine. Adds a site which returns
word synonyms although just in German.
Depending on the query not all synonyms are shown because of not the best xpath
selection. But should do the job just fine.
Upstream example query: https://synonyme.woxikon.de/synonyme/test.php
BTW add about section to the YAML configuration
It now shows descriptions with their correct URLs when there are videos in the
search results, pulling content_xpath from snippet-description instead of
snippet-content.

To compress saved preferences in the URL was introduced in 5f758b2d3 and
slightly fixed in 8f4401462. But the main fail was not fixed; The decompress
function returns a binary string and this binary should first be decoded to a
string before it is passed to urllib.parse_qs.
BTW: revert the hot-fix from 5973491

Slightly modified merge of commit [1cb1d3ac] from searx [PR 2543]:
This adds Docker Hub .. as a search engine .. the engine's favicon was
downloaded from the Docker Hub website with wget and converted to a PNG
with ImageMagick .. It supports the parsing of URLs, titles, content,
published dates, and thumbnails of Docker images.

To test & demonstrate this implementation download:
https://liste.mediathekview.de/filmliste-v2.db.bz2
and unpack into searx/data/filmliste-v2.db, in your settings.yml define a sqlite
engine named "demo"::
- name : demo
engine : sqlite
shortcut: demo
categories: general
result_template: default.html
database : searx/data/filmliste-v2.db
query_str : >-
SELECT title || ' (' || time(duration, 'unixepoch') || ')' AS title,
COALESCE( NULLIF(url_video_hd,''), NULLIF(url_video_sd,''), url_video) AS url,
description AS content
FROM film
WHERE title LIKE :wildcard OR description LIKE :wildcard
ORDER BY duration DESC
disabled : False
Query to test: "!demo concert"
This is a rewrite of the implementation from commit [1]
