Tube Archivist [1] is a self-hosted project which archives youtube videos on
your own local server. This engine connects with Tube Archivist's search API to
allow searching from SearXNG into your own hosted videos.

The types necessary for weather information such as GeoLocation, DateTime,
Temperature,Pressure, WindSpeed, RelativeHumidity, Compass (wind direction) and
symbols for the weather have been implemented.
There are unit conversions and translations for weather property labels.

Sometimes (e.g. when ddg does not have a result item) there is no content and
the engine will fail with an IndexError:
* Error: IndexError
* Percentage: 10
* Parameters: `()`
* File name: `searx/engines/duckduckgo.py:375`
* Function: `response`
* Code: `item["content"] = extract_text(eval_xpath(div_result, './/a[contains(@class, "result__snippet")]')[0])`

Changes:
- Add trailing slash to base URL to prevent potential redirects
- Remove advanced search syntax filtering (no longer guarantees a CAPTCHA)
- Correct pagination offset calculation: Page 2 now starts at offset 10,
subsequent pages use 10 + (n-2)*15 formula instead of the previous
broken 20 + (n-2)*50 calculation that caused CAPTCHAs
- Restructure request parameter building to better match a real request
- "kt" cookie is no longer an empty string if the language/region is "all"
- Group related parameter assignments together
- Add header logging to debugging output

There is currently no known z-library, and all known URLs are dead [1]. To avoid
interrupting automated updates, a connection error to a z-library is treated as
a *known error*, and the old properties of the z-library are retained.

- apparently the API now requires a `X-Pinterest-PWS-Handler` in order to
properly function (extracted from their web UI)
- the other `X-Pinterest` headers here are added in case they become mandatory
too
Closes: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4812
Icons category makes sense because it allows to quickly search for free SVG
icons to use for websites / other designs with a quick `!icons` query
Icons don't seem to fit into the normal images category that well because icons
are quite a special type of images
The global variable CACHE is not initialized when DDG images or DDG videos
import the get_vqd() function (please remember: the engine modules are imported
using the importlib method and not via the `import` keyword).

number of key/value pairs: 7
In the "cache tables and key/values" section, the table name (engine name) is at
first position on the second there is the calculated expire date and on the
third and fourth position the key/value is shown.
About duckduckgo: The *vqd coode* of ddg depends on the query term and therefore
the key is a hash value of the query term (to not to store the raw query term).
In the "properties of ENGINES_CACHE" section all properties of the SQLiteAppl /
ExpireCache and their last modification date are shown::

These properties provide information about the state of the ExpireCache and
control the behavior. For example, the maintenance intervals are controlled by
the last modification date of the LAST_MAINTENANCE property and the hash value
of the password can be used to detect whether the password has been changed (in
this case the DB entries can no longer be decrypted and the entire cache must be
discarded).

Fixes the semantic scholar engine by extracting a ui version token.
BTW: remove html tags from the content.
Author's checklist:
- they are ratelimiting very fast, if you do approx more than 2 requests per
minute, you have to wait some time again...
- they also have an official api at api.semanticscholar.org, but it's ratelimits
are even harder

The Yahoo engine's fetch_traits function has been encountering an error in CI
jobs for several months [1], thus aborting the process for all other engines as
well.
The language selection dialog (which fetch_traits calls) requires an `EuConsent`
cookie. Strangely, the cookie is not needed for searching, which is why the
engine itself still works.
Since Yahoo won't be conquering any new marketplaces in the foreseeable future,
it should be sufficient to hard-implement the list of currently available
languages (`yahoo_languages`).

Re-writes the Mullvad Leta integration to work with the new breaking changes.
Mullvad Leta is a search engine proxy. Currently Leta only offers text search
results not image, news or any other types of search result. Leta acts as a
proxy to Google and Brave search results.
- Remove docstring comments regarding requiring the use of Mullvad VPN, which is
no longer a hard requirement.
- configured two engines: ``mullvadleta`` (uses google) and
``mullvadleta brave`` (uses brave)
- since leta may not provide up-to-date search results, both search engines are
disabled by default.
.. hint::
Leta caches each search for up to 30 days. For example, if you use search
terms like ``news``, contrary to your intention you'll get very old results!
