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.
- WHOOGLE_SHOW_FAVICONS: Default on, can be set to 0 to hide favicons
and skip the request for fetching them
- WHOOGLE_UPDATE_CHECK: Default on, can be set to 0 to disable the
daily check for new versions released on github
Closes#1098Closes#1059
This should fix the annoyance with browsers like Firefox not caching
POST request responses. By redirecting a POST search to be a GET request
instead (with an encrypted query string), the page can be cached and
successfully navigated back to after visiting a result.
DDG provides favicons using the url format
icons.duckduckgo.com/ip2/{site}.ico
This can be used to fetch favicons in the event that the default
"/favicon.ico" path does not work.
Audio controls are now always shown by default (mostly found in searches
that contain word pronunciation guides).
Site icons were moved to the left side of the results.
When starting whoogle from another directory, the path to the calculator
widget was previously invalid. It now specifies the path relative to the widget
loader file.
The calculator was previously triggered for partial matches with words
like "calc", which meant searches containing the word "calcium" would
cause the calculator widget to appear.
Redirects to alternative frontends can now be defined using the
WHOOGLE_REDIRECTS environment variable. Usage is documented in the
readme, but is basically defined as <parent>:<new>.

Defines separate environment variables for setting mobile vs desktop user
agents
Defines an environment variable for using the client's User-Agent

More MarkupResemblesLocatorWarning warnings have been appearing. This
seems to be caused by parsing HTML content that contains a URL.
This new change suppresses the warning at the root level of the app
before any content has been parsed, so this error shouldn't appear
again.
Fixes#968
An invalid parsing warning was being thrown by the latest version of the
bs4 library. This suppresses that warning from being shown in the
console.
A 404 handler was added to move logging from the console to the error
template, since a lot of users assumed that 404 errors from the result
page were problems with Whoogle itself.
Fixes#967
This adds a simple calculator widget, somewhat similar to the one presented
when searching calculator on Google.
Also, it adds somewhat of a template for making the addition of new widgets
easier via the app/utils/widgets.py file. My eventual plan is to use this to
create more widgets that appear in Google, such as a color picker, timer, etc.

Medium redirects needed further cleanup to account for instances where a
link contains a subdomain that would not make sense in a Farside
redirect link.
Fixes#947
The url prefix was not included when reconstructing the root url using
X-Forwarded-* headers, causing some elements to fail to load properly.
Fixes#937
Add a function to check if target_word contains CJK characters
If a search term contains Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters,
the term is bolded in search results regardless of whitespace.
CJK characters: Chinese, Japanese (hiragana, katakana, kanji),
and Korean (hangul syllables, hangul jamo)

Moved the cleaner functions to app/utils/escaper.py
Removed unused import 're'
Moved the cleaner functionalities to the "search.py" and "routes.py"
Making sure escaped chars stay escaped during process
Replaced "<" and ">" with "andlt;" and "andgt;", respectively. This way,
when the 'response' object get loaded to bsoup (which happens several times
throughout the process between search.py and routes.py), bsoup will not
unescape them.
Parent sites using a 'www' subdomain or something similar were not
redirecting properly. This updates the hostname check to only validate
against the primary domain, except for Wikipedia since the subdomain is
used for interface translation in that case.
Fixes#901
Replacing result links and text when site alts are enabled is now part
of its own function, and handles replacement of link location and link
description separately.
Fixes#880
This can be updated later to allow users with cookies enabled to use a
key that is unique to their session (if they want, not mandatory), but
for now it makes more sense to just use a single key for all queries
from all users. This should eliminate a lot of issues that users have
reported where they are unable to decrypt queries or page elements due
to an expired/renewed session key.
New changes to google search now include ads prefixed with the keyword
"sponsored". This update should remove these from appearing in search
results.
Fixes#871
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.
Adds support for encoding (and optionally encrypting) user config values as
a single string that can be passed to any endpoint with the "preferences" url
param.

Session validation includes a method for determining the proxy host url,
but previously did not include the path for the initial request. This
caused a situation where users with a new session would not be able to
complete their first search, since the session validation follow-through
url did not include the actual path for their search query.
The method now includes a flag for only extracting the root url, which
is needed for creating full urls in the content filter.
Fixes#708
Farside can now redirect quora links to querte instances and imdb links
to libremdb instances. This updates Whoogle to perform link replacements
for both services when site alts are configured.
For users running local instances of service alternatives such as
invidious, the alt replacement procedure broke if the scheme of the
original service (almost always https) didn't match the scheme of their
defined local service (likely http).
This adds a small check to see if the alt has a defined scheme, and if
so, removes the original scheme for that result.
Fixes#806
Wikipedia -> Wikiless redirects always result in an english language
result, even if the Wikipedia result would've been in a non-english
language. This is due to Wikipedia using language specific subdomains
(i.e. de.wikipedia.org, en.wikipedia.org, etc) whereas Wikiless uses a
"lang" url param.
This has been fixed by inspecting the subdomain of the wikipedia link
and passing that value to Wikiless as the lang param if it's determined
to be a language specific value (currently just looking for a 2-char
subdomain).
See #805
If Whoogle is accessed on a non-standard port _and_ proxied,
this port is lost to the application and `element['src']`s are
incorrectly formed (omitting port).
HTTP x-Forwarded-Host will contain this front port number in
a typical Nginx reverse proxy configuration.
A user reported a bug where searches with a leading slash (in this case:
"/e/OS apps" were interpreted as a Google specific link when clicking
the next page of results.
This was due to the behavior that Google's search results exhibit, where
internal links for pages like support.google.com are delivered with
params like "?q=/support" rather than a direct link. This fixes that
scenario by checking the "q" param value against the user's original
query to ensure they don't match before assuming that the result is
intended as a redirect.
Fixes#776
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
