# ChinaSo

ChinaSo, a search engine for the chinese language area.

Attention

ChinaSo engine does not return real URL, the links from these search engines violate the privacy of the users!!

We try to find a solution for this problem, please follow issue #4694.

As long as the problem has not been resolved, these engines are not active in a standard setup (`inactive: true`).

## Configuration

The engine has the following additional settings:

- `chinaso_news_source` (`ChinasoNewsSourceType`)

In the example below, ChinaSO is configured for news search.

    - name: chinaso news
      engine: chinaso
      shortcut: chinaso
      categories: [news]
      chinaso_news_source: all

## Implementations
