[fix] set language_support for engines with languages in traits (#6258)

2026-06-15T08:52:00Z

In the past, the engine option ``language_support`` was not consistently maintained; with this patch, a ValueError is now thrown if an engine has languages in its traits but language_support is not set to True. Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[fix] engine: google-news - Google pushed a frontend update (#5984)

2026-05-17T13:27:00Z

Around March 9 - 10, 2026, Google pushed a frontend update to Google News that completely changed the HTML structure of search results. This is a complete overhaul of the Google News engine. - The real URL is encoded in the "jslog" attribute. @SeriousConcept1134: the attribute is a base64 encoded JSON - CEID list is updated - The typification was pushed forward Related: - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5852#issuecomment-4254438184 - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5852#issuecomment-4265598833 Closes: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5852 Suggested-by: SeriousConcept1134 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] online engines - set common HTTP headers

2026-02-22T08:30:16Z

The online engines emulate a request as it would come from a web browser, which is why the HTTP headers in the default settings should also be set the way a standard web browser would set them. Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[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/ ..

[mod] simple theme: drop img_src from default results

2024-05-16T05:30:38Z

The use of img_src AND thumbnail in the default results makes no sense (only a thumbnail is needed). In the current state this is rather confusing, because img_src is displayed like a thumbnail (small) and thumbnail is displayed like an image (large). Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser
