[furo] remove `.. contents::` directives (#3408)

2026-05-07T14:19:28Z

The directive creates a table of contents for the page. However, Furo includes a table of contents already in the sidebar. It is, thus, recommended to removing the `.. contents::` directive. [1] https://github.com/pradyunsg/furo/issues/88#issuecomment-803297274 Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[mod] drop SearXNG's checker (#5767)

2026-02-22T13:44:21Z

To date, there is no analysis for the checker that could be evaluated in any meaningful way. - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/3407 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3312 The checker would need to be completely redesigned, but even then, its usefulness and the maintenance required for it would be disproportionate. TBH: In its current form, it is useless and only consumes resources and causes the engines to be blocked, because these tests (query terms) come from *hundreds* of instances and could be interpreted as bot attacks.

[mod] theme/simple: migrate codebase to TypeScript

2025-08-18T14:38:32Z

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, converting the entire theme to TypeScript allows us to receive much more feedback on possible issues made in package updates or our own typos, furthermore, it allows to transpile properly to lower specs. This PR couldn't be done in smaller commits, a lot of work needed to make everything *work properly*: - A browser baseline has been set that requires minimum **Chromium 93, Firefox 92 and Safari 15** (proper visuals/operation on older browser versions is not guaranteed) - LightningCSS now handles minification and prefix creation for CSS. - All hardcoded polyfills and support for previous browser baseline versions have been removed. - Convert codebase to TypeScript. - Convert IIFE to ESM, handling globals with IIFE is cumbersome, ESM is the standard for virtually any use of JS nowadays. - Vite now builds the theme without the need for `vite-plugin-static-copy`. - `searxng.ready` now accepts an array of conditions for the callback to be executed. - Replace `leaflet` with `ol` as there were some issues with proper Vite bundling. - Merged `head` with `main` script, as head was too small now. - Add `assertElement` to properly check the existence of critical DOM elements. - `searxng.on` renamed to `searxng.listen` with some handling improvements.

[enh] CI - add shell script formatter

2025-07-28T10:53:26Z

Implement rules and functions to format shell scripts: $ make format.shell or alternatively to format all source code: $ make format The formatter `shfmt` reads the rules from the editorconfig[1] If any EditorConfig files are found, they will be used to apply formatting options. If any parser or printer flags are given to the tool, no EditorConfig files will be used. [1] https://github.com/patrickvane/shfmt?tab=readme-ov-file#description Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[mod] migrate from Redis to Valkey (#4795)

2025-07-09T05:55:37Z

This patch migrates from `redis==5.2.1` [1] to `valkey==6.1.0` [2]. The migration to valkey is necessary because the company behind Redis has decided to abandon the open source license. After experiencing a drop in user numbers, they now want to run it under a dual license again. But this move demonstrates once again how unreliable the company is and how it treats open source developers. To review first, read the docs:: $ make docs.live Follow the instructions to remove redis: - http://0.0.0.0:8000/admin/settings/settings_redis.html Config and install a local valkey DB: - http://0.0.0.0:8000/admin/settings/settings_valkey.html [1] https://pypi.org/project/redis/ [2] https://pypi.org/project/valkey/ Co-authored-by: HLFH Co-authored-by: Markus Heiser

[fix] pip install -e: legacy editable install (setup.py develop) is deprecated

2024-08-21T10:09:14Z

From [1]: There is now a standardized mechanism [2] for an installer like pip to request an editable install of a project. pip is transitioning to using this standard only instead of invoking the deprecated `setup.py develop` command. For backward compatibility, we can use switches: --use-pep517 https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/#cmdoption-use-pep517 --no-build-isolation https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/cli/pip_install/#cmdoption-no-build-isolation - [1] https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/11457 - [2] https://peps.python.org/pep-0660/ Closes: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/3701 Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[mod] get rid of ./utils/brand.env and its workflow

2024-01-09T15:31:19Z

All the environments defined in ./utils/brand.env are generated on the fly, so there is no longer a need to define the brand environment in this file and all the workflows to handle this file. Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser
