[chore] Google (HTML) engine: remove obsolete GSA User-Agents (#6366)

2026-07-05T10:07:23Z

The GSA headers that were introduced in PR #5644 unfortunately no longer work (#6359). The Google engines - google.py - google_videos.py do not work anymore either, but we'll leave it in the code for now: - In google.py, central functions like get_google_info(..) are provided, which are also used by other modules. - We will probably need a Google HTML (and video) engine again very soon.

[feat] engines: add google cse engine (#6364)

2026-07-05T09:50:23Z

Adds a new google cse engine as an alternative to the currently broken html google engine. It works by generating a token which is cached for 1 hour and it only uses the public CSE id from blackle.com. We do have two others but I think just hardcoding one will be enough. Will be broken in 2027 due to google deprecating it but I it will be good while it lasts. I found I can get up to 20 results per page. Setting safesearch and language works and I just copied the traits from the google engine. Also set old google engine as inactive as it is completely broken for now.

* [mod] update_engine_descriptions.py - revision of the script (#6309) The script was a bit outdated, type hints were missing, and the strings were converted to double quotation marks The `descriptions.items()` are sorted to avoid assigning the references to seen_descriptions randomly (should reduce unnecessary diffs in the future).

[feat] update_engine_traits.py: add option to update engines selective

2026-05-13T11:55:50Z

Previously, `update_engine_traits.py` would fetch traits for all engines, which is very slow and by side-effect touches engine data that are unrelated to the engine you're currently working on. To be faster with developing `update_engine_traits.py` supports now engine arguments. To test, jump into the developer environment and run the script:: $ ./manage dev.env (dev.env)$ ./searxng_extra/update/update_engine_traits.py --help Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[fix] google: switch to using "Google Go App" (NSTNWV) useragent

[fix] google: switch to using "Google App" for Android useragent (#5892)

2026-03-23T13:55:48Z

I found a bypass using the Android Google App this time. However, unlike the iPhone GSA method, this one does have rate limits. Although it took a couple of hundred consecutive requests to trigger them.

[mod] drop fasttext-predict (#5795)

2026-03-06T14:40:44Z

Removes the `fasttext-predict` dependency and the language detection code. If a user now selects `auto` for the search language, the detected language now falls back directly to the `Accept-Language` header sent by the browser (which was already the fallback when fasttext returned no result). - fasttext's [language detection is unreliable](https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4195) for some languages, especially short search queries, and in particular for queries containing proper names which is a common case. - `fasttext-predict` consumes [significant memory](https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1969#issuecomment-1345366676) without offering users much real value. - the upstream fasttext project was archived by Meta in 2024 - users already have two better alternatives: the `Accept-Language` header and the search-syntax language prefix (e.g. `:fr` or `:de`).
