Plugin entry points
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Pre search hook (``pre_search``)
- Post search hook (``post_search``)
- Result hook (``on_result``) (is called if a new result is added (see
https\_rewrite plugin))
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.
Feel free to add more hooks to the code if it is required by a plugin.
Pre search hook
```````````````
TODO
~~~~
Runs BEFORE the search request. Function to implement: ``pre_search``
- Better documentation
- More hooks
- search hook (is called while searx is requesting results (for
example: things like math-solver), the different hooks are running
parallel)
Post search hook
````````````````
Runs AFTER the search request. Function to implement: ``post_search``
Result hook
```````````
Runs when a new result is added to the result list. Function to implement: ``on_result``

Search API
==========
Search API endpoints: ``/``, ``/search``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The search supports both ``GET`` and ``POST``. However, using ``GET`` the parameters of the request remain hidden. So it is advised to use ``GET`` for querying.
Endpoints have equivalent functionality.
Furthermore, two enpoints ``/`` and ``/search`` are available for querying.
.. code:: sh
GET /
.. code:: sh
GET /search
Parameters
