Looking at

I feel that some communities would like to make some customizations on their own.
For now the current solution from here is to fork, make the customization and merge from time to time the code from here.

Perhaps, we can find a better way.

For example, a satellite project "searxng-esperanto" would contain:

  • the engine definitions ( settings.yml )
  • the code for engines
  • some tests.
  • nothing more.

From here (to be define):

  • either add the project in requirements.txt (easy because pip takes care of downloading / upgrading the files).
  • either make a reference in settings.yml

This would allow to:

  • to keep this project with a default generic configuration.
  • various communities to have their own customization, with a easy way to integrate in this project.

Nice idea but I do not have capacity for .. it"s getting too much for me, I"d like to finish the move from searx to SearXNG first .. there is a loot of work to get this done. Afterwards I am open for new features and models.

About https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/725 : I wonder if this list could be manage like the adblock lists: the plugin could use an URL of where to download the list. So various project could manage different lists with different flavor.

In settings.yml:

hostname_replace:
  # pages which reflect nothing more than bad translations of other pages
  "qastack\.com\.de": false
  "im-coder\.com": false
  "code\.i-harness\.com": false
  *import: https://example.com/path/hostname_replace.yml

In this example *import is special syntax that import the content of URL into the current configuration.

This could also works with the engines too.

Load block list is one thing, load executable code from the net is another thing ... load code from a remote opens the door for exploits.
