[fix] bing engines - geoblocking in China (#6134)

2026-05-25T15:05:08Z

In regions like China, the domain must be adjusted to avoid a redirect. - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5243 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/5324 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/6133 Suggested / tested by @hubutui in https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/6133#issuecomment-4534637069 Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[unbload] drop meaningless field ``number_of_results_xpath`` from results (#6130)

2026-05-25T10:43:02Z

In the result-list, the ``number_of_results`` indicate the number of hits in the Index, they do not indicate how many results are in the answer. In the past, search engines such as google or ddg had an indication on the first page of a search term of how many hits there were for this term in total in their index. This info was added up in SearXNG and delivered under ``number_of_results``. Nowadays the search engines no longer indicate how many hits there are in the index and so this field in SearXNG is also superfluous. - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/2457#issuecomment-2566181574 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/2987 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5034 Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[enh] engines: rework bing engine (#5793)

2026-03-18T13:55:25Z

* [enh] engines: rework bing engine Only Bing-Web has been reworked. Some features now require JavaScript (paging and time-range results). Cookies no longer work, parameters such as `cc`, `ui`, ... alter the results. The engine only appears to use the locale from `Accept-Language` header properly. The rest of Bing's child engines (Bing-Image, Bing-Video, ...) seem to benefit from using `mkt` param in conjunction with the `Accept-Language` header override, although Bing-Web does not (?) * [enh] explicit mkt * [fix] engines: bing_videos.py https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/5793#pullrequestreview-3881883250

[mod] bing engine: follow redirects (#5324)

2025-10-17T13:43:49Z

Apparently, in China, Bing redirects from `www.bing.com` to `cn.bing.com`. So in order to make Bing work for chinese users by default, we have to follow that redirect. related: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5243

[mod] addition of various type hints / tbc

2025-09-03T11:37:36Z

- pyright configuration [1]_ - stub files: types-lxml [2]_ - addition of various type hints - enable use of new type system features on older Python versions [3]_ - ``.tool-versions`` - set python to lowest version we support (3.10.18) [4]_: Older versions typically lack some typing features found in newer Python versions. Therefore, for local type checking (before commit), it is necessary to use the older Python interpreter. .. [1] https://docs.basedpyright.com/v1.20.0/configuration/config-files/ ..
