"""Script to run searx from terminal.

Getting categories without initiate the engine will only return `['general']`

>>> import searx.engines
... list(searx.engines.categories.keys())
['general']
>>> import searx
... searx.engines.initialize_engines(searx.settings['engines'])
... list(searx.engines.categories.keys())
['general', 'it', 'science', 'images', 'news', 'videos', 'music', 'files', 'social media', 'map']

Example to use this script:

.. code::  bash

    $ SEARX_DEBUG=1 python3 utils/standalone_searx.py rain

Example to run it from python:

>>> import importlib
... import json
... import sys
... import searx
... import searx.engines
... search_query = 'rain'
... # initialize engines
... searx.engines.initialize_engines(searx.settings['engines'])
... # load engines categories once instead of each time the function called
... engine_cs = list(searx.engines.categories.keys())
... # load module
... spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(
...     'utils.standalone_searx', 'utils/standalone_searx.py')
... sas = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
... spec.loader.exec_module(sas)
... # use function from module
... prog_args = sas.parse_argument([search_query], category_choices=engine_cs)
... search_q = sas.get_search_query(prog_args, engine_categories=engine_cs)
... res_dict = sas.to_dict(search_q)
... sys.stdout.write(json.dumps(
...     res_dict, sort_keys=True, indent=4, ensure_ascii=False,
