Deny formats has been implemented in 6ed4616d.
To harden SearXNG instances by default, other formats than HTML should be
denied. Most of JSON, RSS and CSV requests are bots [1]::
Bots are the only users of this feature on a public instance, and they abuse
it too much that the engines rate limit pretty quickly the IP address of the
instance.

In unit tests settings from
searx/settings.yml
and the user settings from:
unit/settings/test_settings.yml
are used. In the latter, settings can be activated that are needed in the unit
test but should not activated by default in production.

The environment variables ..
- SEARX_GIT_VERSION
- VERSION_GITCOMMIT
- SEARX_PYTHON_VERSION
- GITHUB_USER
- SEARX_IMAGE_NAME
- BUILD
are local to the docker.buildx() function, other variables like GIT_URL are
comming from the utils/brand.env file (rebuild by: make buildenv).

The usages of the searx.brand namespace has been removed, the searx.brand
namespace is now longer needed.
The searx.brand namespace was an interim solution which has been added in commit
9e53470b4, see commit message there ...
This patch is a first 'proof of concept'. Later we can decide to remove the
brand namespace entirely or not.

In the templates and the /config (JSON) the usage of the 'brand.*' name
space is replaced by 'searx.get_setting' function.
- new_issue_url --> get_setting('brand.new_issue_url')
- brand.GIT_URL --> get_setting('brand.git_url')
- brand.PUBLIC_INSTANCES --> get_setting('brand.public_instances')
- brand.DOCS_URL --> get_setting('brand.docs_url')
- brand.ISSUE_URL --> get_setting('brand.issue_url')
- brand.CONTACT_URL --> get_setting('general.contact_url', '')
The macro 'new_issue' from searx/templates/*/messages/no_results.html
is now imported with context::
{% from '__common__/new_issue.html' import new_issue with context %}
To get *public instances URL* from context's 'get_setting()' function::
get_setting('brand.public_instances','')
Macro's prototype does no longer need the 'new_issue_url' argument and has been
changed to::
macro new_issue(engine_name, engine_reliability)

Added function searx.get_setting(name, default=_unset):
Returns the value to which ``name`` point. If there is no such name in the
settings and the ``default`` is unset, a KeyError exception is raised.
In all the python processes ..
- make docs
- make buildenv
- make install (setup.py)
the usage of the 'brand.*' name space is replaced by 'searx.get_setting'
function.
- brand.SEARX_URL --> get_setting('server.base_url')
- brand.GIT_URL --> get_setting('brand.git_url')
- brand.GIT_BRANCH' --> get_setting('server.base_url')
- brand.ISSUE_URL --> get_setting('brand.issue_url')
- brand.DOCS_URL --> get_setting('brand.docs_url')
- brand.PUBLIC_INSTANCES --> get_setting('brand.public_instances')
- brand.CONTACT_URL --> get_setting('general.contact_url', '')
- brand.WIKI_URL --> get_setting('brand.wiki_url')
- brand.TWITTER_URL --> get_setting('brand.twitter_url', '')

Qwant is a fast and reliable search engine and AFAIK there is no CAPTCHA. Let
us enable Qwant engines by default.
Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>
The implementation uses the Qwant API (https://api.qwant.com/v3). The API is
undocumented but can be reverse engineered by reading the network log of
https://www.qwant.com/ queries.
This implementation is used by different qwant engines in the settings.yml::
- name: qwant
categories: general
...
- name: qwant news
categories: news
...
- name: qwant images
categories: images
...
- name: qwant videos
categories: videos

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
