[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Drop outdated engine attributes: supported_languages, language_aliases Complete, normalize and document the type definitions for the engine-module and engine-class.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

[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

[fix] engines: typo (#5466)

2025-11-21T10:20:10Z

Fix typo in engine timeout definition: 'timout' -> 'timeout'

[fix] engines - set hard timouts in sub-request (#5460)

2025-11-21T07:16:24Z

The requests changed here all run outside of the network context timeout, thereby preventing the engine's timeout from being applied (the engine's timeout can become longer than it was configured). Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[fix] presearch engine: blocked by captcha on every request

2025-11-20T12:48:13Z

Presearch responds with a Cloudflare captcha on each request when using HTTP2. Using HTTP1.1, everything seems to work fine. - other engines with the same issue: pixabay, uxwing - closes https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5438

[fix] presearch: reuse response cookies from token extraction

2025-05-28T10:53:45Z

Why? - presearch requires the response cookies of the first request to be sent within the second request - otherwise we miss auth information and the engine doesn't work Related: - https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/4858 - closes https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4854 Co-authored-by: Aadniz <8147434+Aadniz@users.noreply.github.com>
