Follow up of #2269 The script to update the descriptions of the engines does no longer work since PR #2269 has been merged. searx/engines/wikipedia.py ========================== 1. There was a misusage of zh-classical.wikipedia.org: - `zh-classical` is dedicate to classical Chinese [1] which is not traditional Chinese [2]. - zh.wikipedia.org has LanguageConverter enabled [3] and is going to dynamically show simplified or traditional Chinese according to the HTTP Accept-Language header. 2. The update_engine_descriptions.py needs a list of all wikipedias. The implementation from #2269 included only a reduced list: - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_article_depth - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias searxng_extra/update/update_engine_descriptions.py ================================================== Before PR #2269 there was a match_language() function that did an approximation using various methods. With PR #2269 there are only the types in the data model of the languages, which can be recognized by babel. The approximation methods, which are needed (only here) in the determination of the descriptions, must be replaced by other methods.

User experience
---------------
- Reworked (and still simple) theme:
* Usable on desktop, tablet and mobile.
* Light and dark versions (available in the preferences).
* Right-to-left language support.
* `Screenshots <https://dev.searxng.org/screenshots.html>`_
- The translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
- The preferences page has been updated:
* Browse which engines are reliable or not.
* Engines are grouped inside each tab.
* Each engine has a description.
- Thanks to the anonymous metrics, it is easier to report malfunctioning engines,
so they get fixed quicker
- `Turn off metrics on the server
<https://docs.searxng.org/admin/engines/settings.html#general>`_ if you don't want them recorded.
- Administrators can `block and/or replace the URLs in the search results
<https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/5c1c0817c3996c5670a545d05831d234d21e6217/searx/settings.yml#L191-L199>`_
Setup
-----
- No need for `Morty`_ to proxy images, even on a public instance.
- No need for `Filtron`_ to block bots, as there is now a built-in `limiter`_.
- A well maintained `Docker image`_, now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures.
(Alternatively there are up to date installation scripts.)
