This patch brings two major changes:
- ``Result.filter_urls(..)`` to pass a filter function for URL fields
- The ``enabled_plugins:`` section in SearXNG's settings do no longer exists.
To understand plugin development compile documentation:
$ make docs.clean docs.live
and read http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/plugins/development.html
There is no longer a distinction between built-in and external plugin, all
plugins are registered via the settings in the ``plugins:`` section.
In SearXNG, plugins can be registered via a fully qualified class name. A
configuration (`PluginCfg`) can be transferred to the plugin, e.g. to activate
it by default / *opt-in* or *opt-out* from user's point of view.
built-in plugins
================
The built-in plugins are all located in the namespace `searx.plugins`.
.. code:: yaml
plugins:
searx.plugins.calculator.SXNGPlugin:
active: true
searx.plugins.hash_plugin.SXNGPlugin:
active: true
searx.plugins.self_info.SXNGPlugin:
active: true
searx.plugins.tracker_url_remover.SXNGPlugin:
active: true
searx.plugins.unit_converter.SXNGPlugin:
active: true
searx.plugins.ahmia_filter.SXNGPlugin:
active: true
searx.plugins.hostnames.SXNGPlugin:
active: true
searx.plugins.oa_doi_rewrite.SXNGPlugin:
active: false
searx.plugins.tor_check.SXNGPlugin:
active: false
external plugins
================
SearXNG supports *external plugins* / there is no need to install one, SearXNG
runs out of the box.
- Only show green hosted results: https://github.com/return42/tgwf-searx-plugins/
To get a developer installation in a SearXNG developer environment:
.. code:: sh
$ git clone git@github.com:return42/tgwf-searx-plugins.git
$ ./manage pyenv.cmd python -m \
pip install -e tgwf-searx-plugins
To register the plugin in SearXNG add ``only_show_green_results.SXNGPlugin`` to
the ``plugins:``:
.. code:: yaml
plugins:
# ...
only_show_green_results.SXNGPlugin:
active: false
Result.filter_urls(..)
======================
The ``Result.filter_urls(..)`` can be used to filter and/or modify URL fields.
In the following example, the filter function ``my_url_filter``:
.. code:: python
def my_url_filter(result, field_name, url_src) -> bool | str:
if "google" in url_src:
return False # remove URL field from result
if "facebook" in url_src:
new_url = url_src.replace("facebook", "fb-dummy")
return new_url # return modified URL
return True # leave URL in field unchanged
is applied to all URL fields in the :py:obj:`Plugin.on_result` hook:
.. code:: python
class MyUrlFilter(Plugin):
...
def on_result(self, request, search, result) -> bool:
result.filter_urls(my_url_filter)
return True

The class ReslutContainer has been revised, it can now handle the typed Result
items of classes:
- MainResult
- LegacyResult (a dict wrapper for backward compatibility)
Due to the now complete typing of theses three clases, instead of the *getitem*
accesses, the fields can now be accessed directly via attributes (which is also
supported by the IDE).

Before #4183 a builtin plugin was *defautlt_on* when it is listed in the
"enabled_plugins" settings, this patch restores the previous behavior.
Not part of this patch but just to mentioning in context of #4263:
In the long term, we will abolish the "enabled_plugins:" setting and combine
all options for the plugins in the "plugins:" setting, as is already planned
in the PR #4282

BTW: Rename the manufacturer-specific name ``ion-icon`` of the icon set in
SerXNG to ``sxng-icon-set`` --> The icon set can be assembled together as
desired in the FE and should therefore not have a manufacturer-specific name in

Vite is a build tool, it consists of two major parts [1]:
- A dev server that provides rich feature enhancements over native ES modules,
for example extremely fast Hot Module Replacement (HMR).
- A build command that bundles your code with Rollup, pre-configured to output
highly optimized static assets for production.

Typification of SearXNG
=======================
This patch introduces the typing of the results. The why and how is described
in the documentation, please generate the documentation ..
$ make docs.clean docs.live
and read the following articles in the "Developer documentation":
- result types --> http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/result_types/index.html
The result types are available from the `searx.result_types` module. The
following have been implemented so far:
- base result type: `searx.result_type.Result`
--> http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/result_types/base_result.html
- answer results
--> http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/result_types/answer.html
including the type for translations (inspired by #3925). For all other
types (which still need to be set up in subsequent PRs), template documentation
has been created for the transition period.
Doc of the fields used in Templates
===================================
The template documentation is the basis for the typing and is the first complete
documentation of the results (needed for engine development). It is the
"working paper" (the plan) with which further typifications can be implemented
in subsequent PRs.
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/357
Answer Templates
================
With the new (sub) types for `Answer`, the templates for the answers have also
been revised, `Translation` are now displayed with collapsible entries (inspired
by #3925).
!en-de dog
Plugins & Answerer
==================
The implementation for `Plugin` and `Answer` has been revised, see
documentation:
- Plugin: http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/plugins/index.html
- Answerer: http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/answerers/index.html
With `AnswerStorage` and `AnswerStorage` to manage those items (in follow up
PRs, `ArticleStorage`, `InfoStorage` and .. will be implemented)
Autocomplete
============
The autocompletion had a bug where the results from `Answer` had not been shown
in the past. To test activate autocompletion and try search terms for which we
have answerers
- statistics: type `min 1 2 3` .. in the completion list you should find an
entry like `[de] min(1, 2, 3) = 1`
- random: type `random uuid` .. in the completion list, the first item is a
random UUID
Extended Types
==============
SearXNG extends e.g. the request and response types of flask and httpx, a module
has been set up for type extensions:
- Extended Types
--> http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/extended_types.html
Unit-Tests
==========
The unit tests have been completely revised. In the previous implementation,
the runtime (the global variables such as `searx.settings`) was not initialized
before each test, so the runtime environment with which a test ran was always
determined by the tests that ran before it. This was also the reason why we
sometimes had to observe non-deterministic errors in the tests in the past:
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/2988 is one example for the Runtime
issues, with non-deterministic behavior ..
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3650
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3654
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3642#issuecomment-2226884469
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3746#issuecomment-2300965005
Why msgspec.Struct
==================
We have already discussed typing based on e.g. `TypeDict` or `dataclass` in the past:
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1562/files
- https://gist.github.com/dalf/972eb05e7a9bee161487132a7de244d2
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1412/files
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1356
In my opinion, TypeDict is unsuitable because the objects are still dictionaries
and not instances of classes / the `dataclass` are classes but ...
The `msgspec.Struct` combine the advantages of typing, runtime behaviour and
also offer the option of (fast) serializing (incl. type check) the objects.
Currently not possible but conceivable with `msgspec`: Outsourcing the engines
into separate processes, what possibilities this opens up in the future is left
to the imagination!
Internally, we have already defined that it is desirable to decouple the
development of the engines from the development of the SearXNG core / The
serialization of the `Result` objects is a prerequisite for this.
HINT: The threads listed above were the template for this PR, even though the
implementation here is based on msgspec. They should also be an inspiration for
the following PRs of typification, as the models and implementations can provide
a good direction.
Why just one commit?
====================
I tried to create several (thematically separated) commits, but gave up at some
point ... there are too many things to tackle at once / The comprehensibility of
the commits would not be improved by a thematic separation. On the contrary, we
would have to make multiple changes at the same places and the goal of a change
would be vaguely recognizable in the fog of the commits.

The migration was done by the following steps, firts prepare the node enviroment
an open a bash in this environment::
$ make clean nvm.nodejs
...
$ ./manage nvm.bash
$ which npx
searxng/.nvm/versions/node/v23.5.0/bin/npx
In this environment the migration command from [1] is started::
$ npx @eslint/migrate-config .eslintrc.json
Need to install the following packages:
@eslint/migrate-config@1.3.5
Migrating .eslintrc.json
Wrote new config to ./eslint.config.mjs
You will need to install the following packages to use the new config:
- globals
- @eslint/js
- @eslint/eslintrc
You can install them using the following command:
npm install globals @eslint/js @eslint/eslintrc -D
The following messages were generated during migration:
- The 'node' environment is used, so switching sourceType to 'commonjs'.
