Randomizing the "Mozilla" portion of the user agent changed the
character encoding to GB2312. Setting it to plain "Mozilla" enforces
UTF-8 encoding.
Bump to version 0.4.1 for release of bug fix
Fixes#267
This moves away from the previous (messy) approach of using two separate
keys for decrypting text and element URLs separately and regenerating
them for new searches. The current implementation of sessions is not very
reliable, which lead to keys being regenerated too soon, which would
break page navigation. Until that can be addressed, the single
key per session approach should work a lot better.
Fixes#250Fixes#90
The previous implementation of the is_heroku check in
search.needs_https() was implemented to only match URLs ending in
'.herokuapp.com', and skipped upgrading to HTTPS for other endpoints.
This introduces a set of environment variables that can be used for
defining initial config state, to expedite the process of
destroying/relaunching instances quickly with the same settings every
time.
Closes#228Closes#195
This allows the user to enable their preferred settings in a variety of
ways, depending on their deployment preference. Values added to
whoogle.env can be enabled using WHOOGLE_DOTENV=1, in which case all
values in the env var file will overwrite defaults or user provided
settings.

Eventually this should be part of a separate mypy ci build, but right
now it's just a general guideline. Future commits and PRs should be
validated for static typing wherever possible.
For reference, the testing commands used for this commit were:
mypy --ignore-missing-imports --pretty --disallow-untyped-calls app/
mypy --ignore-missing-imports --pretty --disallow-untyped-calls test/
* Add custom CSS field to config
This allows users to set/customize an instance's theme and appearance to
their liking. The config CSS field is prepopulated with all default CSS
variable values to allow quick editing.
Note that this can be somewhat of a "footgun" if someone updates the
CSS to hide all fields/search/etc. Should probably add some sort of
bandaid "admin" feature for public instances to employ until the whole
cookie/session issue is investigated further.
* Symlink all app static files to test dir
* Refactor app/misc/*.json -> app/static/settings/*.json
The country/language json files are used for user config settings, so
the "misc" name didn't really make sense. Also moved these to the static
folder to make testing easier.
* Fix light theme variables in dark theme css
* Minor style tweaking
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.
Introduces a new content security policy header for responses to all
requests to reduce the possibility of ip leaks to outside connections.
By default blocks all inline scripts, and only allows content loaded
from Whoogle.
Refactors a few small inline scripting cases in the project to their own
individual scripts.
Requiring authentication for accessing the opensearch template prevents
the browser from accessing the file when adding as a default search
engine. This removes the authentication requirement from the opensearch
route, which should never provide any sensitive information anyways.
Bang operator can now be placed anywhere in the query, to allow for peak
efficiency in stream of consciousness querying (i.e. `big !reddit
chungus` will search reddit for big chungus`).
Fixes#196
* Adds the ability to redirect reddit.com to libredd.it using the existing
"site alts" config setting.
This adds the WHOOGLE_ALT_RD environment variable for optionally
redirecting reddit links to libreddit
(https://github.com/spikecodes/libreddit).
* Include libreddit in home page site alt note
Pip installs of whoogle search were missing access to the misc/ folder,
which previously contained the language and country json files. These
have been moved to app/misc, and the previous root level misc/ was
renamed to config/ (since it now only contains the tor config files).
Bump to 0.3.1.
Heroku instances were using the base http url when formatting the
opensearch.xml template. This adds a new routing utility, "needs_https",
which can be used for determining if the url in question needs
upgrading.
With javascript disabled, searches could not be submitted on the results
page using the "Enter" key. Adding a hidden submit button to the header
template resolves this issue.
The lxml dependency in the project was fairly unnecessary, and made the
initial build time for the project considerably slower. This replaces
all instances of lxml with either the default html parser (for bs4
constructors) or the built in xml.etree package (for search suggestion
parsing).
Introduces a new javascript "utils" file, which includes a check for
matching the query against a set of tracking number regexes on page
load. If a match is found, the script prepends a link to the
(presumably) appropriate tracking page.

Moves the language and country dicts from the config model to json files
that are loaded during app init and stored in the app config dict. This
substantially improves the readability of the config model and allows
for much more sensible loading of the language/country options.
This adds a step in the filter process to wrap the "people also ask"
section in a <details> element, which automatically collapses the
contents of the section. Clicking/tapping the details element expands
the view as normal.
See #113
The BeautifulSoup constructur in gen_nojs needed to explicitly set
features='lxml' to silence a warning from the library.
Also temporarily disabled the site alts test since the results are too
unreliable. This should be moved to a unit test instead.
The pagination footer on the results page after page 2 has three actions
(beginning, next, previous). The footer filter was updated to remove
items with more than three actions to fix this.
See #131
* Add ability to configure site alts w/ env vars
Site alternatives (i.e. twitter.com -> nitter.net) can now be configured
using environment variables:
WHOOGLE_ALT_TW='nitter.net' # twitter alt
WHOOGLE_ALT_YT='invidio.us' # youtube alt
WHOOGLE_ALT_IG='bibliogram.art/u' # instagram alt
Updated testing to confirm results have been modified.
* Add site alt vars to docker settings and readme
Heroku app instances have been notoriously bad at having the instance
automatically upgraded to https. This adds a step in the before request
decorator to always upgrade heroku apps, since they're always deployed
with the certificate, but never configured to upgrade automatically.
Fixes#153
The invidious instance has been updated to invidious.snopyta.org, since
this instance is more reliable and has more users according to
instances.invidio.us
All site alternative redirects now redirect without the 'www' subdomain,
since most of the alternative sites don't have this subdomain set up.
The resolution for enabling full support for search + suggestions in
Chrome is to remove the "method" tag altogether for any Chrome based
browser. Any inclusion of this tag seems to break the search suggestion
feature, and makes the user add the search engine manually.
Dark mode, country, interface language, and search language configs
can now be set in the search query by appending each option as a
url parameter.
Supported args are: 'dark', 'lang_search', 'lang_interface', and 'ctry'
Ex: /search?q=%s&dark=1&lang_search=lang_en...
These config settings persist across page navigation and switching
result type, but will be reset if the main search bar is used.
See #144
The body tag of the home page was previously hidden until the page was
finished loading to prevent a flash of unstyled content, but this broke
functionality for users who disallow javascript. This adds in a new
noscript tag to manually enable visibility of the body element, as well
as automatically displaying the config section (since its visibility is
also typically handled by javascript).
* Use relative links instead of absolute
This allows for hosting under a subpath. For example if you want to host
whoogle at example.com/whoogle, it should work better with a reverse proxy.
* Use relative link for opensearch.xml
Occasionally, Firefox will send the search suggestion
string to the server without a mimetype, resulting in the suggestion
only appearing in Flask's `request.data` field. This field is typically
not used for parsing arguments, as the documentation states:
Contains the incoming request data as string in case it came with a
mimetype Flask does not handle.
This fix captures the bytes object sent to the server and parses it into
a normal query to be used in forming suggestions.
