Markus Heiser 04c687403e [fix] brands: add variables from build env to jinja templating
We have some variables in the build environment which are also needed in the
templating process.  Theses variables are relavant if one creates a fork with
its own branding.  We treat these variables under the term 'brands'.

<h1>About <a href="{{ url_for('index') }}">searx</a></h1>
<p>Searx is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>, aggregating the results of other <a href="{{ url_for('preferences') }}">search engines</a> while not storing information about its users.
</p>
<h2>Why use searx?</h2>
<ul>
<li>searx may not offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't generate a profile about you</li>
<li>searx doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you</li>
<li>searx is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help to make it better. See more on <a href="{{ brand.GIT_URL }}">github</a></li>
</ul>
<p>If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise believe
in digital freedom, make searx your default search engine or run it on your own server</p>
<h2>Technical details - How does it work?</h2>
<p>Searx is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>,
inspired by the <a href="https://beniz.github.io/seeks/">seeks project</a>.<br />
It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser (except chrome*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. In case of Chrome* users there is an exception, searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests.<br />
Searx can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.
</p>
<h2>How can I make it my own?</h2>
<p>Searx appreciates your concern regarding logs, so take the <a href="{{ brand.GIT_URL }}">code</a> and run it yourself! <br />Add your Searx to this <a href="{{ brand.SEARX_URL }}">list</a> to help other people reclaim their privacy and make the Internet freer!
<br />The more decentralized the Internet is, the more freedom we have!</p>
