Including the version portion of the URL now redirects to search results
for the name of the bang file, rather than returning the bang file
itself. Removing the version from the URL returns the correct bang file.
Changed the implementation to work if the bang is at anyplace in the query.
Added a check to not spend time looking for an operator if a "!" is not present
in the query.
No longer allowed to have the bang at the "!" char at the end, since this may
cause some conflicts like the issue cited before, where the ! is after a word
in the query, which is natural in most languages.
Previously, empty bang searches would redirect to the Whoogle instance
home page. This now redirects to the specific site for the bang search
instead (i.e. "!yt" without a query redirects to "youtube.com", "!gh" to
"github.com", etc)
Fixes#719
Bang searches without an actual query (i.e. just searching "!gh") will
now redirect to the home page. I guess people do this for some reason
and don't like that it redirects to the correct bang result URL, but
without an actual search term.
Fixes#595
Initializing the DDG bangs when running whoogle for the first time
creates an indeterminate amount of delay before the app becomes usable,
which makes usability tests (particularly w/ Docker) unreliable. This
moves the bang json init to a background thread and writes a temporary
empty dict to the bangs json file until the full bangs json can be used.
Using `format` for formatting bang queries caused a KeyError for some
searches, such as !hd (HUDOC). In that example, the URL returned in the
bangs json was `http://...#{%22fulltext%22:[%22{}%22]...`, where
standard formatting would not work due to the misidentification of
"fulltext" as a formatting key.
The logic has been updated to just replace the first occurence of "{}"
in the URL returned by the bangs dict.
Fixes#513
DDG style bang searches can now have the bang (!) at the end of
the search (i.e. "bologna w!" will now redirect to wikipedia just like
"bologna !w" would)
The app/utils/*_utils weren't named very well, and all have been updated
to have more accurate names.
Function and class documention for the utils have been updated as well,
as part of the effort to improve overall documentation for the project.
