Now that about.html extends page_with_header.html
it already has a link to the start page and removing
the link makes it easier to extract the page title
from the Markdown for the following commit.
Previously the preferences & stats templates contained the markup:
<a href="{{ url_for('index') }}"><h1><span>SearXNG</span></h1></a>
There are many things wrong with this:
1. the markup was duplicated
2. the CSS needed to be changed whenever a new page wanted to use this
header (since the CSS used page-specific selectors)
3. h1 should be reserved for the actual page title
(e.g. Preferences or Engine stats)
4. the image was set via CSS which also set:
span { visibility: hidden; }
which however removes the alternative text from the accessibility
tree (meaning screen readers will ignore it).
This commit fixes all these problems.
Currently we have two kinds of user documentation:
* the about page[1] which is written in HTML and part of the web
application and can therefore link instance-specific pages
(like e.g. the preferences) via Jinja variables
* the Sphinx documentation[2] which is written in reStructuredText
and cannot link instance-specific pages since it doesn't know
which instance the user is using
The plan is to integrate the user documentation currently in Sphinx
into the application, so that it can also link instance specific pages.
We also want to enable the user documentation to be translated.
This commit implements the first step in this endeavor (see #722).

nodejs.ensure only sets up NVM if there isn't a system-wide
installation of Node that matches our NODE_MINIMUM_VERSION.
The ubuntu image in the CI comes with an up to date node version,
so pyright from .nvm_packages is never installed.
This commit fixes this by introducing a package.json file.
Since we currently have many type checking errors,
we for now only test with typeCheckingMode: off
which makes pyright only check files that contain a comment:
# pyright: basic
to enable basic type checking, or
# pyright: strict
to enable strict type checking.
By adding this file Pyright automatically detects the
packages from our Python virtual environment.
This can be tested by using the Pyright extension
for VS Code or by running npx pyright.
webapp.py monkey-patches the Flask request global.
This commit adds a type cast so that e.g. Pyright[1]
doesn't show "Cannot access member" errors everywhere.

The previous implementation used two hash sets and a list.
... that's not necessary ... a single hash map suffices.
And it's also less error prone ... because the previous data structure
allowed a setting to be enabled and disabled at the same time.
Previously the default_value was abused for the cookie name.
Having SwitchableSetting subclass Setting doesn't even make sense
in the first place since none of the Setting methods apply.
The ? search operator has been broken for some time and
currently only raises the question why it's still there.
## Context ##
The query "Paris !images" searches for "Paris" in the "images" category.
Once upon a time Searx supported "Paris ?images" to search for "Paris"
in the currently enabled categories and the "images" category.
The feature makes sense ... the ? syntax does not.
We will hopefully introduce a +!images syntax in the future.
Fixes#702.
The tab icon names are currently hard coded in the templates.
This commit lets us introduce an icon property in the future, e.g:
categories_as_tabs:
general:
icon: search-outline
These dictionaries are no longer part of the general category,
so they're no longer queried by default -> we can enable them
by default without degrading general query performance.
The general category is the category that is searched by default.
From a privacy standpoint it doesn't make sense to send all general
queries to specialized search engines that cannot deal with those
queries anyway.
Previously we didn't have a good place to put search engines that don't
fit into any of the tab categories. This commit automatically puts
search engines that don't belong to any tab category in an "other"
category, that is only displayed in the user preferences (and not above
search results).
Previously all categories were displayed as search engine tabs.
This commit changes that so that only the categories listed under
categories_as_tabs in settings.yml are displayed.
This lets us introduce more categories without cluttering up the UI.
Categories not displayed as tabs can still be searched with !bangs.
Previously the documentation grouped the engines by their first
category so e.g. YouTube and Invidious were only shown in the
in the videos section but not in the music section.
This commit fixes this by iterating over searx.engines.categories,
which also has the added benefit that the sections are now in the
same order as the tabs in the user interface.
