Links that were directed at G domains were previously removed
universally, when really they only needed to be removed from the footer
to reduce possible confusion caused by mixed Whoogle and G links.
Fixes#656
Bang searches without an actual query (i.e. just searching "!gh") will
now redirect to the home page. I guess people do this for some reason
and don't like that it redirects to the correct bang result URL, but
without an actual search term.
Fixes#595
Recent changes to ads in search results caused Whoogle to display ads
for certain searches. In particular, ads recently started appearing
grouped into one div, as opposed to a singular ad per div. This was
accompanied by the div label "ads" (instead of just "ad"), which threw
off the existing ad filter. The ad keyword blacklist has been updated
accordingly, and has been enhanced to only check against alpha chars for
each label.
This only seems to have affected English language searches, and only for
very specific searches.
If the config dir already exists, setting the mode (`-m 777`) doesn't
actually work as it should. This change splits the command into two
separate commands for directory creation and enabling the directory to
be writable by all.
Fixes#658
Currency amounts returned by google seem to randomly include unicode
chars ('\xa0' noted in #642) which broke the currency calculator
included in the project. This ensures that only strings that can be
converted to float are ever used in the conversion.
Fixes#642
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
Removes dependency on class names for creating the "my ip" info card in
the results list for searches pertaining to the user's public IP.
Adds test to prevent this from happening again.
Note to anyone reading this and looking to contribute: please avoid
using hardcoded class names at all costs. This approach of
creating/removing content just results in issues if/when Google decides
to introduce/remove class names from the result page.
Fixes#657
Also removes fosshost instance from readme
From @benbusby:
I'm unable to get in touch with fosshost support about the whoogle
instance being unavailable, and am no longer interested in
maintaining the instance due to the lack of communication.
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.

Google's latest formatting changes broke the modifications made when enabling
`WHOOGLE_MINIMAL`. This updates the result filtering to work with the new
changes.
Fixes#634
min-width was previously set to 736px for all screen sizes, which forced
content off screen for smaller devices such as mobile phones. This
modifies the search stylesheet to only apply a min-width style to
devices > 800px wide.
There have been some recent formatting changes made by Google for search
results that do not look good (especially for dark themes). This
mostly overrides those styles to resemble the original Whoogle
result formatting.
The fosshost team decommissioned the region that Whoogle was hosted in,
but hasn't provided an option to transfer the domain record to the new VM. Until
that is fixed, the instance is inaccessible.
Introduces a new 'scan' workflow for scanning the main branch container for
vulnerabilities nightly. By default, this will fail for any 'medium' or higher
vulnerability.
Fixes#613
Depending on bash wasn't strictly necessary, as the two minimal scripts
in the repo were both nearly POSIX anyways.
Aside from simplifying the repo's dependencies a little bit, this also
helps reduce the overall Docker image size as an added bonus.
Also adds the ability to overwrite the image in docker-compose.yml,
which allows the CI build to use the same image for all docker tests.
The default is still 'benbusby/whoogle-search' though.
Initializing the DDG bangs when running whoogle for the first time
creates an indeterminate amount of delay before the app becomes usable,
which makes usability tests (particularly w/ Docker) unreliable. This
moves the bang json init to a background thread and writes a temporary
empty dict to the bangs json file until the full bangs json can be used.
Split previous docker test CI into one for PRs and one for triggering
the main buildx workflow that deploys new images to Docker Hub.
Note that this needs to be further refactored soon to use reusable
workflows. The main portion of docker/docker-compose tests is duplicated
between the new main + test workflows.
As reported in #593, the XML response body returned for search
suggestions can apparently contain invalid XML elements. This catches
the error and returns an empty suggestion list instead of erroring.
Fixes#593
Including a list of instances that are easily machine-readable allows
services such as Farside (https://github.com/benbusby/farside) to read
these and have an up to date list of valid instances.
The country URL param ('gl') is no longer set to 'US' by default, and is
omitted from the search entirely unless explicitly set by the user. This
change was made in an attempt to cut back on the number of captchas
experienced by certain users self-hosting who experienced a decreased
amount of captchas when this configuration setting was removed.
Fixes#558
