The levelup.gitconnected.com site is a Medium site that can also be
replaced with scribe.rip whenever privacy respecting site alternatives
are enabled in the config.
Also modified how link descriptions are updated when that config is
enabled (before it was missing replacements on quite a few
descriptions).
This introduces a new UI element for displaying the client IP
address when a search for "my ip" is used.
Note that this does not show the IP address seen by Google
if Whoogle is deployed remotely. It uses `request.remote_addr`
to display the client IP address in the UI, not the actual address
of the server (which is what Google sees in requests sent from
remote Whoogle instances).
scribe.rip is a privacy respecting front end for medium.com. This
feature allows medium.com results to be replaced with scribe.rip links,
and works for both regular medium.com domains as well as user specific
subdomains (i.e. user.medium.com).

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.
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.

* 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.
This moves away from the previous (messy) approach of using two separate
keys for decrypting text and element URLs separately and regenerating
them for new searches. The current implementation of sessions is not very
reliable, which lead to keys being regenerated too soon, which would
break page navigation. Until that can be addressed, the single
key per session approach should work a lot better.
Fixes#250Fixes#90
The previous implementation of the is_heroku check in
search.needs_https() was implemented to only match URLs ending in
'.herokuapp.com', and skipped upgrading to HTTPS for other endpoints.
This allows the user to enable their preferred settings in a variety of
ways, depending on their deployment preference. Values added to
whoogle.env can be enabled using WHOOGLE_DOTENV=1, in which case all
values in the env var file will overwrite defaults or user provided
settings.

Eventually this should be part of a separate mypy ci build, but right
now it's just a general guideline. Future commits and PRs should be
validated for static typing wherever possible.
For reference, the testing commands used for this commit were:
mypy --ignore-missing-imports --pretty --disallow-untyped-calls app/
mypy --ignore-missing-imports --pretty --disallow-untyped-calls test/
The app/utils/*_utils weren't named very well, and all have been updated
to have more accurate names.
Function and class documention for the utils have been updated as well,
as part of the effort to improve overall documentation for the project.
Bang operator can now be placed anywhere in the query, to allow for peak
efficiency in stream of consciousness querying (i.e. `big !reddit
chungus` will search reddit for big chungus`).
Fixes#196
* Adds the ability to redirect reddit.com to libredd.it using the existing
"site alts" config setting.
This adds the WHOOGLE_ALT_RD environment variable for optionally
redirecting reddit links to libreddit
(https://github.com/spikecodes/libreddit).
* Include libreddit in home page site alt note
Heroku instances were using the base http url when formatting the
opensearch.xml template. This adds a new routing utility, "needs_https",
which can be used for determining if the url in question needs
upgrading.
The lxml dependency in the project was fairly unnecessary, and made the
initial build time for the project considerably slower. This replaces
all instances of lxml with either the default html parser (for bs4
constructors) or the built in xml.etree package (for search suggestion
parsing).
The BeautifulSoup constructur in gen_nojs needed to explicitly set
features='lxml' to silence a warning from the library.
Also temporarily disabled the site alts test since the results are too
unreliable. This should be moved to a unit test instead.
* Add ability to configure site alts w/ env vars
Site alternatives (i.e. twitter.com -> nitter.net) can now be configured
using environment variables:
WHOOGLE_ALT_TW='nitter.net' # twitter alt
WHOOGLE_ALT_YT='invidio.us' # youtube alt
WHOOGLE_ALT_IG='bibliogram.art/u' # instagram alt
Updated testing to confirm results have been modified.
* Add site alt vars to docker settings and readme
The invidious instance has been updated to invidious.snopyta.org, since
this instance is more reliable and has more users according to
instances.invidio.us
All site alternative redirects now redirect without the 'www' subdomain,
since most of the alternative sites don't have this subdomain set up.
Dark mode, country, interface language, and search language configs
can now be set in the search query by appending each option as a
url parameter.
Supported args are: 'dark', 'lang_search', 'lang_interface', and 'ctry'
Ex: /search?q=%s&dark=1&lang_search=lang_en...
These config settings persist across page navigation and switching
result type, but will be reset if the main search bar is used.
See #144
* Add tor and http/socks proxy support
Allows users to enable/disable tor from the config menu, which will
forward all requests through Tor.
Also adds support for setting environment variables for alternative
proxy support. Setting the following variables will forward requests
through the proxy:
- WHOOGLE_PROXY_USER (optional)
- WHOOGLE_PROXY_PASS (optional)
- WHOOGLE_PROXY_TYPE (required)
- Can be "http", "socks4", or "socks5"
- WHOOGLE_PROXY_LOC (required)
- Format: "<ip address>:<port>"
See #30
* Refactor acquire_tor_conn -> acquire_tor_identity
Also updated travis CI to set up tor
* Add check for Tor socket on init, improve Tor error handling
Initializing the app sends a heartbeat request to Tor to check for
availability, and updates the home page config options accordingly. This
heartbeat is sent on every request, to ensure Tor support can be
reconfigured without restarting the entire app.
If Tor support is enabled, and a subsequent request fails, then a new
TorError exception is raised, and the Tor feature is disabled until a
valid connection is restored.
The max attempts has been updated to 10, since 5 seemed a bit too low
for how quickly the attempts go by.
* Change send_tor_signal arg type, update function doc
send_tor_signal now accepts a stem.Signal arg (a bit cleaner tbh). Also
added the doc string for the "disable" attribute in TorError.
* Fix tor identity logic in Request.send
* Update proxy init, change proxyloc var name
Proxy is now only initialized if both type and location are specified,
as neither have a default fallback and both are required. I suppose the
type could fall back to http, but seems safer this way.
Also refactored proxyurl -> proxyloc for the runtime args in order to
match the Dockerfile args.
* Add tor/proxy support for Docker builds, fix opensearch/init
The Dockerfile is now updated to include support for Tor configuration,
with a working torrc file included in the repo.
An issue with opensearch was fixed as well, which was uncovered during
testing and was simple enough to fix here. Likewise, DDG bang gen was
updated to only ever happen if the file didn't exist previously, as
testing with the file being regenerated every time was tedious.
* Add missing "@" for socks proxy requests
Initialization of the app now includes generation of a ddg-bang json
file, which is used for all bang style searches afterwards.
Also added search suggestion handling for bang json lookup. Queries
beginning with "!" now reference the bang json file to pull all keys
that match.
Updated test suite to include basic tests for bang functionality.
Updated gitignore to exclude bang subdir.
Improves clarity of the meaning behind the "Country" filter -- Google
seemingly uses this value to only return results that are hosted in a
particular country, as evidenced in the search differences highlighted
in #123. It now mentions that the results are filtered by website
hosting location.
Also, now that invidio.us is shut down, the fallback URL (invidiou.site)
is now used instead.
Full implementation of social media alt redirects (twitter/youtube/instagram -> nitter/invidious/bibliogram) depending on configuration.
Verbatim search and option to ignore search autocorrect are now supported as well.
Also cleaned up the javascript side of whoogle config so that it now
uses arrays of available fields for parsing config values instead of manually assigning each
one to a variable.
This doesn't include support for Google Maps -> Open Street Maps, that
seems a bit more involved than the social media redirects were, so it
should likely be a separate effort.
This is a proof of concept! The code works, but uses hardcoded operators
and may be placed in the wrong file/class.
The best-case scenario would be the possibility to use the 13.000+ ddg
operators, but I don't know if that's possible without having to
redirect to duckduckgo first.
* Major refactor of requests and session management
- Switches from pycurl to requests library
- Allows for less janky decoding, especially with non-latin character
sets
- Adds session level management of user configs
- Allows for each session to set its own config (people are probably
going to complain about this, though not sure if it'll be the same
number of people who are upset that their friends/family have to share
their config)
- Updates key gen/regen to more aggressively swap out keys after each
request
* Added ability to save/load configs by name
- New PUT method for config allows changing config with specified name
- New methods in js controller to handle loading/saving of configs
* Result formatting and removal of unused elements
- Fixed question section formatting from results page (added appropriate
padding and made questions styled as italic)
- Removed user agent display from main config settings
* Minor change to button label
* Fixed issue with "de-pickling" of flask session
Having a gitignore-everything ("*") file within a flask session folder seems to cause a
weird bug where the state of the app becomes unusable from continuously
trying to prune files listed in the gitignore (and it can't prune '*').
* Switched to pickling saved configs
* Updated ad/sponsored content filter and conf naming
Configs are now named with a .conf extension to allow for easier manual
cleanup/modification of named config files
Sponsored content now removed by basic string matching of span content
* Version bump to 0.2.0
* Fixed request.send return style
