[refactor] engines: use datetime.fromisoformat instead of datetime.strptime where possible (#6394)

2026-07-13T15:46:56Z

Refactor engines that parse ISO 8601 dates with strptime to use fromisoformat instead. In most cases this is a direct replacement of strptime(text, "format") with fromisoformat(text). For engines where the source has a trailing "Z" that strptime consumed as a literal (e.g. "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ" in huggingface.py), add rstrip("Z") to keep the output naive and preserve the existing behavior. In sogou.py the date is extracted with a regular expression, which can yield strings like "2026-7-11". strptime accepts this via its format string, but fromisoformat does not. To preserve the existing behavior and satisfy the format fromisoformat expects, add zero-padding for the month and day. Closes: #6098 --------- Signed-off-by: OneVth

[fix] engine baidu: fix image search blocked by antiFlag

2026-06-29T17:54:10Z

Baidu image search returns antiFlag=1 when the acjson API is called without session cookies from image.baidu.com. Warm up cookies with a GET to the image homepage, cache them for one hour via EngineCache, and pass them to image search requests. Raise SearxEngineAccessDeniedException when antiFlag is still returned. Signed-off-by: Hu Butui

[chore] complete and normalize the attributes of engine objects (#6258)

2026-06-15T08:52:00Z

Drop outdated engine attributes: supported_languages, language_aliases Complete, normalize and document the type definitions for the engine-module and engine-class. For the ``engine.about`` section of the configuration, a type check is performed based on structure ``searx.enginelib.EngineAbout``. The property ``engine.about.language`` no longer exists; existing values have been migrated to ``engine.language``. Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser
