Markus Heiser 50f92779bd [refactor] migrate plugins from "module" to class SXNGPlugin
This patch brings two major changes:

- ``Result.filter_urls(..)`` to pass a filter function for URL fields
- The ``enabled_plugins:`` section in SearXNG's settings do no longer exists.

To understand plugin development compile documentation:

    $ make docs.clean docs.live

and read http://0.0.0.0:8000/dev/plugins/development.html

There is no longer a distinction between built-in and external plugin, all
plugins are registered via the settings in the ``plugins:`` section.

In SearXNG, plugins can be registered via a fully qualified class name.  A
configuration (`PluginCfg`) can be transferred to the plugin, e.g. to activate
it by default / *opt-in* or *opt-out* from user's point of view.

built-in plugins
================

The built-in plugins are all located in the namespace `searx.plugins`.

.. code:: yaml

    plugins:

      searx.plugins.calculator.SXNGPlugin:
        active: true

      searx.plugins.hash_plugin.SXNGPlugin:
        active: true

      searx.plugins.self_info.SXNGPlugin:
        active: true

      searx.plugins.tracker_url_remover.SXNGPlugin:
        active: true

      searx.plugins.unit_converter.SXNGPlugin:
        active: true

      searx.plugins.ahmia_filter.SXNGPlugin:
        active: true

      searx.plugins.hostnames.SXNGPlugin:
        active: true

      searx.plugins.oa_doi_rewrite.SXNGPlugin:
        active: false

      searx.plugins.tor_check.SXNGPlugin:
        active: false

external plugins
================

SearXNG supports *external plugins* / there is no need to install one, SearXNG
runs out of the box.

- Only show green hosted results: https://github.com/return42/tgwf-searx-plugins/

To get a developer installation in a SearXNG developer environment:

.. code:: sh

   $ git clone git@github.com:return42/tgwf-searx-plugins.git
   $ ./manage pyenv.cmd python -m \
         pip install -e tgwf-searx-plugins

To register the plugin in SearXNG add ``only_show_green_results.SXNGPlugin`` to
the ``plugins:``:

.. code:: yaml

    plugins:
      # ...
      only_show_green_results.SXNGPlugin:
        active: false

Result.filter_urls(..)
======================

The ``Result.filter_urls(..)`` can be used to filter and/or modify URL fields.
In the following example, the filter function ``my_url_filter``:

.. code:: python

   def my_url_filter(result, field_name, url_src) -> bool | str:
       if "google" in url_src:
           return False              # remove URL field from result
       if "facebook" in url_src:
           new_url = url_src.replace("facebook", "fb-dummy")
           return new_url            # return modified URL
       return True                   # leave URL in field unchanged

is applied to all URL fields in the :py:obj:`Plugin.on_result` hook:

.. code:: python

   class MyUrlFilter(Plugin):
       ...
       def on_result(self, request, search, result) -> bool:
           result.filter_urls(my_url_filter)
           return True

Plugins can extend or replace functionality of various components of SearXNG.
Entry points (hooks) define when a plugin runs. Right now only three hooks are
implemented. So feel free to implement a hook if it fits the behaviour of your
plugin / a plugin doesn't need to implement all the hooks.
- pre search: :py:obj:`Plugin.pre_search`
- post search: :py:obj:`Plugin.post_search`
- on each result item: :py:obj:`Plugin.on_result`
Below you will find some examples, for more coding examples have a look at the
built-in plugins :origin:`searx/plugins/` or `Only show green hosted results`_.

Add Answer example
==================
Here is an example of a very simple plugin that adds a "Hello World" into the
answer area:
.. code:: python
from flask_babel import gettext as _
from searx.plugins import Plugin
from searx.result_types import Answer
class MyPlugin(Plugin):
id = "hello world"
def __init__(self, plg_cfg):
super().__init__(plg_cfg)
self.info = PluginInfo(id=self.id, name=_("Hello"), description=_("demo plugin"))
def post_search(self, request, search):
return [ Answer(answer="Hello World") ]

Filter URLs example
===================

- :py:obj:`Result.filter_urls(..) <searx.result_types._base.Result.filter_urls>`
The :py:obj:`Result.filter_urls(..) <searx.result_types._base.Result.filter_urls>`
can be used to filter and/or modify URL fields. In the following example, the
filter function ``my_url_filter``:
.. code:: python
def my_url_filter(result, field_name, url_src) -> bool | str:
if "google" in url_src:
return False # remove URL field from result
if "facebook" in url_src:
new_url = url_src.replace("facebook", "fb-dummy")
return new_url # return modified URL
return True # leave URL in field unchanged

.. code:: python
class MyUrlFilter(Plugin):
...
def on_result(self, request, search, result) -> bool:
result.filter_urls(my_url_filter)
return True
