This seems to be caused by an odd behavior related to Flask sessions and
instances of Whoogle installed via pip. I didn't investigate it too
much, since catching and ignoring the result doesn't impact Whoogle
functionality at all (configuration and session values persist as
normal). Since this doesn't affect non-pip instances, I don't believe it
to be a fault within Whoogle itself.
Fixes#765
A user reported a bug where searches with a leading slash (in this case:
"/e/OS apps" were interpreted as a Google specific link when clicking
the next page of results.
This was due to the behavior that Google's search results exhibit, where
internal links for pages like support.google.com are delivered with
params like "?q=/support" rather than a direct link. This fixes that
scenario by checking the "q" param value against the user's original
query to ensure they don't match before assuming that the result is
intended as a redirect.
Fixes#776
It appears that result links beginning with '/url' were mistakenly
commited with an inefficient filtering process in its place. With the
way the code is structured, this less effective '/url' link filter took
precedence over the previous link filter, and also caused users with the
"open link in new tab" config enabled to no longer have access to that
feature.
Fixes#769
The leading slash was previously removed without noticing it was part of a
string replacement in #734. This caused the href of "View Image" contain a
leading "/" which is wrong.
Pages in the Whoogle footer that by default route to Google pages were
previously being removed, but caused results that also routed to similar
pages to no longer be accessible. This was due to the removal of the
'/url' endpoint that Google uses for each result.
To fix this, the result link is now parsed so that the domain of the
result can be checked against the disallowed G page list. Since results
are delivered in a "/url?q=<domain>" format -- even for pages to
Google's own products -- and the footer links are formatted as
"<product>.google.com", footer links are removed and result links are
parsed correctly.
Fixes#747
SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE must be set to 'lax' to allow the user's
previous session to persist when accessing the instance from an external
link. Setting this value to 'strict' causes Whoogle to revalidate a new
session, and fail, resulting in cookies being disabled.
This could be re-evaluated if Whoogle ever switches to client side
configuration instead.
Fixes#749
The `/url` endpoint was previously used as a way of mirroring the
`/url?q=<result domain>` formatting of locations in search results from
Google. Rather than have this unnecessary intermediary step, the result
path was extracted and used as the immediate path for each result item
instead.
This endpoint hasn't been in use for many versions and has been in need
of removal for quite some time.
If a trailing slash is defined here, it causes the Whoogle instance to
redirect these element requests back to the home page, causing unwanted
behavior.
Previously, empty bang searches would redirect to the Whoogle instance
home page. This now redirects to the specific site for the bang search
instead (i.e. "!yt" without a query redirects to "youtube.com", "!gh" to
"github.com", etc)
Fixes#719
The "anon-view" translation key is the correct one to use for accessing
anonymous view within the search results. "config-anon-view" is only for
the configuration menu on the home page.
* 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.

In some rare instances (a race condition perhaps?) a
`cryptography.fernet.InvalidToken` exception is thrown resulting in
a broken connection.
This change gracefully returns a 401 error instead.
* 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
During yesterday's stream, it was brought to my attention that Heroku
deployments with the default blank value set for custom CSS causes a
bizarre appearance (all black and white with missing UI elements).
Setting the custom css variable to the default seems to fix this
problem.
If the alt for a particular service is blank, the original source is
used instead.
Example:
1. Site alts enabled in config
2. User wants wikipedia links, not wikiless
3. WHOOGLE_ALT_WIKI set to ""
4. All available alt links redirected to farside, except wikipedia
Fixes#704
Bibliogram uses a slightly different URL format than Instagram, and
requires a "u/" before the username when replacing Instagram links. This
was already implemented everywhere else except the Dockerfile.
Old iOS 12 devices will pass the Referer HTTP header to the site user clicks.
Websites will know those traffic come from Whoogle search.
Adding "nofollow noopener noreferrer" solves the issue.
The time filter (past day/hour/month/etc) was using the result element
background color instead of the page background color, which wasn't
providing enough contrast with the default text color.
After an uptime of 109 days, the usage of /var/lib/tor was still 10.9 MB. A
reply in issue #648 reported a higher usage, which was fixed by setting the
size a bit higher (12MB instead of 11MB).
Wikipedia, imgur, and translate alternatives were all still using
hardcoded URLs when replaced with their respective alternative frontend.
This updates them to use farside instead.
