[feat] engines: add swisscows images engine
...
The implementation is basically a 1:1 port of the reverse engineered
swisscows JavaScript code. (it's been obfuscated, so I've restructured it
and made the variable names idiomatic instead of obfuscated var names like "a", "o", "i")
```js
/*
e: "/v5/images/search"
t: {
itemsCount: "50"
locale: "de-DE"
offset: "50"
query: "test"
spellcheck: "true"
}
*/
// HASH library used: https://github.com/h2non/jshashes
function generateNonceAndSignature(queryParams, urlPath) {
// urlPath = "/v5/images/search"
// sort keys alphabetically and join to query string
let queryStringSorted = '?' + U().stringify(queryParams, {
arrayFormat: 'repeat',
allowDots: !0
}).split('&').map(e => {
let[key, value] = e.split('=');
return [key, decodeURIComponent(value)]
}).sort((e, t) => e[0].localeCompare(t[0])).map(e => e.join('=')).join('&');
function caesarShift(str, offset = 13) {
const alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
let result = [];
for (let a = 0; a < str.length; a++) {
let c = str[a],
alphabetIndex = alphabet.indexOf(c.toLowerCase());
if ( - 1 !== alphabetIndex) {
alphabetIndex += offset;
while (alphabetIndex >= alphabet.length) alphabetIndex -= alphabet.length;
c = c === c.toUpperCase() ? alphabet[alphabetIndex] : alphabet[alphabetIndex].toUpperCase()
}
result.push(c)
}
return result.join('')
}
const r = new (sha256Instance()).SHA256;
const random = randomString(32);
const randomShifted = caesarShift(random);
let to_hash = [urlPath, queryStringSorted, randomShifted].join('');
let signature = r.b64(to_hash);
signature = signature.replace(/=/g, '').replace(/\+/g, '-').replace(/\//g, '_');
return {
nonce: random,
signature: signature
}
}
function randomString(length) {
let t = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789-._~',
n = '';
for (let r = 0; r < length; r++) n += t.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * t.length));
return n
}
```

[mod] podcastindex: remove engine ( #6140 )
...
PodcastIndex.org started using a Proof-of-Work JavaScript
challenge whose results are sent as `X-Pow-*` request headers.
Although it is technically possible to re-implement the
PoW challenge in Python, it's likely impossible to maintain
because
- the actual Proof of Concept logic might change very often
- the whole idea of the Proof of Work challenge is to use
a "big" amount of resources (about 1s on my PC); so executing the challenge
would almost block all other work on the SearXNG instance
At first glance, the challenge looks very similar to what
Anubis does, because it also uses SHA256 hashes.

[mod] normalize variable name for the max number of results per request
In the past, we have used different names for the variable that specifies the
maximum number of hits in the outgoing request.
- ``page_size``
- ``number_of_results``
- ``nb_per_page``
Since *page_size* is the most accurate term and is also used in the XPath
engines, all other engines are adjusted accordingly within this
patch .. documentation adjusted accordingly.

[mod] aol engines: disable by default ( #5975 )
...
The AOL engines deliver no results or too many incorrect results; in #5972 it is
reported that the AOL-images do not work, and on AOL-web the language selection
seems to depend more on the IP than on the selected language / Locally, the
language selection works for me, on the public server only English results are
displayed, which significantly worsens the result list.

[mod] drop SearXNG's checker ( #5767 )
...
To date, there is no analysis for the checker that could be evaluated in any
meaningful way.
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/3407
- https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/3312
The checker would need to be completely redesigned, but even then, its
usefulness and the maintenance required for it would be disproportionate.
TBH: In its current form, it is useless and only consumes resources and
causes the engines to be blocked, because these tests (query terms) come
from *hundreds* of instances and could be interpreted as bot attacks.
