Deny formats has been implemented in 6ed4616d.
To harden SearXNG instances by default, other formats than HTML should be
denied. Most of JSON, RSS and CSV requests are bots [1]::
Bots are the only users of this feature on a public instance, and they abuse
it too much that the engines rate limit pretty quickly the IP address of the
instance.
