[fix] qwant: engine blocked with captcha

2026-07-15T15:39:10Z

Qwant now requires a `datadome` cookie that it returns in the first search response as a `Set-Cookie`. This cookie has to be sent for all requests, otherwise they will be blocked. This means that now, the first search request is blocked (results in CAPTCHA), and only the subsequent searches work (same happens on the Qwant website for me). However, I don't think it's worth repeating the same search request multiple times very quickly because that also makes us more suspicious.

[fix] qwant: access denied due to mismatching query order

2026-06-30T13:23:09Z

We're now shuffling the order of query arguments, as it seems that Qwant actively blocks the query order of SearXNG. tgp seems to be short for "test group" (look at the XHR requests the browser sends to "https://www.qwant.com/action/ui") - its actual value doesn't matter, as long as it's sent and at the correct position in the query params and doesn't change too frequently

[mod] qwant: remove web lite and improve request spoofing (#6127)

2026-05-25T13:46:40Z

- https://lite.qwant.com seems to be dead. - The request parameters were changed to match the ones from the Qwant website. - Qwant is now set to inactive by default due to its strict rate-limits

[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] qwant engine: set header Accept-Language to bypass bot detection (#5382)

2025-10-27T07:33:07Z

Set HTTP header Accept-Language [1] for the Qwant engine. Qwant does not seem to work on any SearXNG instance right now, and this is a fix for this issue. During testing, it seems like setting the Accept-Language gives more success for bypassing bot detection (tested with a few ~20 searches).
