The redirects portion of the error page is only needed in scenarios
where the instance is rate limited, in which case the user's query is
provided to the error template. If this isn't provided, it should just
display the error and allow the user to redirect to the home page.
Fixes#1122
The error template previously only included the option to continue a
user's search via Farside (whoogle or searxng), and would only appear
when an instance was ratelimited. This has been updated to display
anytime an exception has occurred, and now includes other options for
continuing a search, such as Kagi, DDG, Brave, Ecosia, etc.
Closes#1099
When a browser adds a search engine using the opensearch template, it
does not have the correct context necessary to autofill the
`preferences` arg with the user's session prefs. As a result, queries
made using the browser bar will have the instance's default preferences
filled into the template.
Removing this shouldn't have any side effects, since queries made on the
same machine will have the correct session associated with the user.
Fixes#929
Introduces the ability to refine searches by time period:
- Past hour
- Past 24 hours
- Past week
- Past month
- Past year

Adds support for encoding (and optionally encrypting) user config values as
a single string that can be passed to any endpoint with the "preferences" url
param.

Adds a new advanced search icon alongside the result tabs for switching
to a different country from the result page.
This will obviously get populated with other methods of filtering
results, but for now it's just the country selector.
This adds a new "temporary" config section of the results view, where a
user can now change the country that their results come from without
changing their default config settings.
Closes#322
Country config value should be checked against the valid value when
updating the home page config, not the other way around. This can lead
to a state where a user sets up an invalid country value, but can still
be matched against a correct value that is part of the invalid value
(i.e. "countryUK" is invalid, but would match against the correct value,
"UK")
Also minor refactor of where the session file size validation occurs.
* Relativization of search results
* Fix JavaScript error when opening images
* Replace single-letter logo and remove sign-in link
* Add `WHOOGLE_URL_PREFIX` env var to support relative path redirection
The `WHOOGLE_URL_PREFIX` var can now be set to fix internal app
redirects, such as the `/session` redirect performed on the first visit
to the Whoogle home page.

* Expand `/window` endpoint to behave like a proxy
The `/window` endpoint was previously used as a type of proxy, but only
for removing Javascript from the result page. This expands the existing
functionality to allow users to proxy search result pages (with or without
Javascript) through their Whoogle instance.
* Implement filtering of remote content from css
* Condense NoJS feature into Anonymous View
Enabling NoJS now removes Javascript from the Anonymous View, rather
than creating a separate option.
* Exclude 'data:' urls from filter, add translations
The 'data:' url must be allowed in results to view certain elements on
the page, such as stars for review based results.
Add translations for the remaining languages.
* Add cssutils to requirements
Rather than only checking for an available update on app init, the check
for updates now performs the check once every 24 hours on the first
request sent after that period.
This also now catches the requests.exceptions.ConnectionError that is
thrown if the app is initialized without an active internet connection.
Fixes#649
Introduces a header for switching between result types (i.e. "All", "News",
etc) that is consistent between the different result types. Previously, image
results had a tab header that was formatted in a drastically different manner,
which was jarring when switching from a different result page to the Images
page.
Created a G class enum to reference class names returned in search
results. As noted in the class doc, this should only be used/updated as
a last resort, as class names change frequently. For some instances,
such as replacing the tbm tab, it's a lot easier to just replace by
header name than attempting to replace it based on how the element is
structured.
Also updated a few styles to revert the latest styling changes being
applied by Google.

* Integrate Farside into Whoogle
When instances are ratelimited (when a captcha is returned instead of
the user's search results) the user can now hop to a new instance via
Farside, a new backend service that redirects users to working instances
of a particular frontend. In this case, it presents a user with a
Farside link to a new Whoogle (or Searx) instance instead, so that the
user can resume their search.
For the generated Farside->Whoogle link, the generated link includes the
user's current Whoogle configuration settings as URL params, to ensure a
more seamless transition between instances. This doesn't translate to
the Farside->Searx link, but potentially could with some changes.
* Expand conversion of config<->url params
Config settings can now be translated to and from URL params using a
predetermined set of "safe" keys (i.e. config settings that easily
translate to URL params).
* Allow jumping instances via Farside when ratelimited
When instances are ratelimited (when a captcha is returned instead of
the user's search results) the user can now hop to a new instance via
Farside, a new backend service that redirects users to working instances
of a particular frontend. In this case, it presents a user with a
Farside link to a new Whoogle (or Searx) instance instead, so that the
user can resume their search.

This implements a method for converting between various currencies. When a user
searches "<currency A> to <currency B>" (including when prefixed by a specific
amount), they are now presented with a table for quickly converting between the
two. This makes use of the currency ratio returned as the first "card" in
currency related searches, and the table is inserted into this same card.
This switches the param used for the "country" config setting from "cr"
(which only filters results by the country the result is hosted in) to
"gl" (which overrides server/hosting location and produces results that
are more accurate for the user's current country).
Before this change, the country config setting was (imo) pretty useless.
Allowing a user to override an instance's hosting location with their
preferred country though is way more useful, especially for public
instances that are hosted in a different country than the user.
Closes#544
Previously the load/save/apply buttons in the config menu were hidden
below all available config options and required the user to scroll to
the bottom to save changes. This made for bad ux, since for new users,
it isn't immediately apparent that selecting a new dropdown value, for
instance, doesn't instantly save the new setting. The new layout should
make it more clear that hitting "Apply" is required to save config
changes.
This checks the latest released version of Whoogle against
the current app version, and shows an "update available"
message if the current version num < latest release num.
Closes#305
The config menu has gotten out of control recently, but rather than
reducing functionality, I'm just going to set a max height for the div
and allow scrolling within the menu.
Ultimately though this indicates that the app is getting a bit too
complicated (imo). Striking a balance between customization and
minimalism is less of a priority for me nowadays though, hence why I'm
willing to let it slide for now. At some point, maybe when there are
more contributors, it could be nice to refactor this in some way so that
it isn't overwhelming to new users who are looking to customize their
instance (that's just me speculating btw, I haven't actually heard from
anyone who thinks there are too many options in that menu).
variables.css doesn't need to be loaded by any template, since
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_STYLE loads those values by default when not set
explicitly. Loading the stylesheet caused the logo colors to be
persistent unless set individually.
Sorry @gripped for sneaking all of this unnecessary color in...
Fixes#492
Used in header templates for navigating back to the home page when
behind a reverse proxy config where the app is running from a subpath of
a domain (i.e. "https://something/whoogle/")
Fixes#403
On app init, short hashes are generated from file checksums to use for
cache busting. These hashes are added into the full file name and used
to symlink to the actual file contents. These symlinks are loaded in the
jinja templates for each page, and can tell the browser to load a new
file if the hash changes.
This is only in place for css and js files, but can be extended in the
future for other file types if needed.
Introduces a new config element and environment variable
(WHOOGLE_CONFIG_THEME) for setting the theme of the app. Rather than
just having either light or dark, this allows a user to have their
instance use their current system light/dark preference to determine the
theme to use.
As a result, the dark mode setting (and WHOOGLE_CONFIG_DARK) have been
deprecated, but will still work as expected until a system theme has
been chosen.
* Add support for Lingva translations in results
Searches that contain the word "translate" and are normal search queries
(i.e. not news/images/video/etc) now create an iframe to a Lingva url to
translate the user's search using their configured search language.
The Lingva url can be configured using the WHOOGLE_ALT_TL env var, or
will fall back to the official Lingva instance url (lingva.ml).
For more info, visit https://github.com/TheDavidDelta/lingva-translate
* Add basic test for lingva results
* Allow user specified lingva instances through csp frame-src
* Fix pep8 issue
Since the interface language defaults to IP geolocation by google, the
default language is now set to english. Still not sure if this is the
best solution, but at least temporarily should clear up some confusion
for users with instances deployed in countries outside of their own.
Also performed some minor cleanup:
- Updated name of strip_blocked_sites to clean_query
- Added clean_query to list of jinja template functions
- Ensured site block list doesn't contain duplicate filters
The new site filter breaks links to Maps results, so filter.py needed
to be updated to handle these links as a unique case. A new method was
introduced to easily remove any "-site:..." filters from the query,
which is now also used to format queries in the header template rather
than manually removing the blocked site list within the template itself.
Bumps version to 0.5.1 for releasing the bugfix
Fixes#329
* Replace hardcoded strings using translation json file
This introduces a new "translations.json" file under app/static/settings
that is loaded on app init and uses the user config value for interface
language to determine the appropriate strings to use in Whoogle-specific
elements of the UI (primarily only on the home page).
* Verify interface lang can be used for localization
Check the configured interface language against the available
localization dict before attempting to use, otherwise fall back to
english.
Also expanded language names in the languages json file.
* Add test for validating translation language keys
Also adds Spanish translation to json (the only non-English language I
can add and reasonably validate on my own).
* Validate all translations against original keyset, update readme
Readme has been updated to include basic contributing guidelines for
both code and translations.
* add view image option
* prevent whoogle links from opening in a new tab.
* remove view image template on mobile requests
* change loop values to be more robust to the number of images
* Update app/templates/imageresults.html
* fix "Basically the .cvifge class needs width: 100%; in order to expand the search input to fit the form width."
* Update app/templates/imageresults.html
* remove hardcoded string from template
* Add view image config var to app.json
* Add view image config var to whoogle.env

The previous method of removing all site filters from the search query
removed the last letter of the search. This only applies the substring
filter if any site filters are present in the query.
Fixes#306
* Block websites in search results via user config
Adds a new config field "Block" to specify a comma separated list of
websites to block in search results. This is applied for all searches.
* Add test for blocking sites from search results
* Document WHOOGLE_CONFIG_BLOCK usage
* Strip '-site:' filters from query in header template
The 'behind the scenes' site filter applied for blocked sites was
appearing in the query field when navigating between search categories
(all -> images -> news, etc). This prevents the filter from appearing in
all except "images", since the image category uses a separate header.
This should eventually be addressed when the image page can begin using
the standard whoogle header, but until then, the filter will still
appear for image searches.
* Add option to disable changing of configuration
Introduces a test to ensure the correct response code is found when
attempting to update the config when disabled, and ensure default config
is unchanged when posting a new config dict.
Attempting to update the config using the API when disabled now returns
a 403 code + redirect.

Enforces 0 margin for the search input form on the result page, which
removes the weird gap that is seen by default.
Also made minor changes to the border styling. Desktop searches now have
a single bottom border in dark mode rather than an all around border,
and the border around the mobile search result input was removed
entirely.
