Now implemented as a flask global variable reads from the same json file
as before, but doesn't crash if it does not find an existing file.
Removed user config creation from run script
Added <meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer"> to all whoogle
templates
Refactored search route to use conditionally use either request.args or
request.form, depending on rest call (get vs post respectively)
Switched encoding from utf-8 to unicode-escape in an effort to support multiple
languages besides English.
Updated image results page formatting to fix bad image links (added TODO
for adding full res image link for each image result).
Updated README to include libcurl and libssl install instructions for
manual setup.
The implementation of POST search support comes with a few benefits. The
most apparent is the avoidance of search queries appearing in web server
logs -- instead of the prior GET approach (i.e.
/search?q=my+search+query), using POST requests with the query stored in
the request body creates logs that simply appear as "/search".
Since a lot of relative links are generated in the results page, I came
up with a way to generate a unique key at run time that is used to
encrypt any query strings before sending to the user. This benefits both
regular text queries as well as fetching of image links and means that
web logs will only show an encrypted string where a link or query
string might slip through.
Unfortunately, GET search requests still need to be supported, as it
doesn't seem that Firefox (on iOS) supports loading search engines by
their opensearch.xml file, but instead relies on manual entry of a
search query string. Once this is updated, I'll probably remove GET
request search support.
Images were previously directly fetched from google search results,
which was a potential privacy hazard. All image sources are now modified
to be passed through shoogle's routing first, which will then fetch raw
image data and pass it through to the user.
Filter class was refactored to split the primary clean method into
smaller, more manageable submethods.
For datetime spans in time-filtered search results, anything less than 7
characters or more than 15 can be guaranteed to not be properly
formatted dates (either "mm dd yyyy" or "xx days/months/weeks ago")
The image results page seems to have different formatting from non-image
results pages. Should probably revisit this at some point and try to
style the image results page to be more in line with other result types.
Updated "Setup" section to clarify that docker setup is unnecessary if using Heroku quick deploy, and restructured to include local setup instructions as well.
Was previously checking for non-inclusive max number of days (i.e.
filtering by past month would return a failed test if the result was
from exactly 31 days ago)
- Updated Dockerfile to include chmod of run script
- Added app.json for Heroku quick deploy
- Removed unused function var in js controller
- Moved requirements back to root of repo
- Added Codebeat report to readme
Curl requests and user agent related functionality was moved to its own
request class.
Routes was refactored to only include strictly routing related
functionality.
Filter class was cleaned up (had routing/request related logic in here,
which didn't make sense)
