From 2767046065c5fc4cd20d5c796dbdaf4d3e5730d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Heiser Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2021 14:42:09 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [fix] drop engine dogpile The engine was added in commit a4b07460 but now it shows new issues [1]. In the 90'th of the last century, dogpile had its own WEB index, but nowadays it is a meta-search engine [2] Powered by technology, Dogpile returns all the best results from leading search engines including Google and Yahoo! Using dogpile as an engine in SearXNG needs more investigation, a XPath solution like we have is not enough. It is questionable whether it still makes sense to investigate more into a meta-search engine with a ReCAPTCHA in front. With this patch the dogpile engine is removed [1] https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/202 [2] https://www.dogpile.com/support/aboutus Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser --- searx/settings.yml | 20 -------------------- 1 file changed, 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/searx/settings.yml b/searx/settings.yml index 8967abac..f8c64510 100644 --- a/searx/settings.yml +++ b/searx/settings.yml @@ -1536,26 +1536,6 @@ engines: require_api_key: false results: HTML - - name: dogpile - shortcut: dp - engine: xpath - paging: true - page_size: 9 - # Doesn't work without the 'sc' parameter - search_url: https://www.dogpile.com/serp?q={query}&page={pageno}&sc=Gp0GqqlRVflv20 - url_xpath: //span[@class="web-bing__url"] - title_xpath: //a[@class="web-bing__title"] - content_xpath: //span[@class="web-bing__description"] - categories: general - timeout: 3.0 - disabled: true - about: - website: https://www.dogpile.com - wikidata_id: Q3595363 - use_official_api: false - require_api_key: false - results: html - - name: brave shortcut: brave engine: xpath
