FindFiles.net is a specialized file search engine designed to help you search
files online with precision. Unlike traditional search engines that mainly index
web pages, FindFiles focuses on finding real files on the internet - including
PDFs, documents, archives, videos, datasets, and more. [1]

The code that reads the value of variable `x` from `embed.js`, decodes
it to ASCII and based on that sets `window["tuskheader"]` and `window["tuskkey"]`
is attached below. The only real way to figure out what this is doing is
by stepping through it with the debugger, otherwise it's almost hopeless.
```js
function fe() {
const B = pe => pe.map(_e => String.fromCharCode(_e)).join(''),
ae = window,
o = ae.x;
if (o?.length) {
const pe = o.length / 2;
for (let _e = 0; _e < pe; _e++) ae[B(o[_e])] = B(o[pe + _e]);
ae.x = void 0
}
}
```
Minimal script for testing the engine:
```py
import random
from json import loads
import requests
resp = requests.get("https://api.tusksearch.com/revcontent/embed.js")
data = loads(resp.text[6:])
def _decode(text: list[int]) -> str:
return "".join([chr(x) for x in text])
header = _decode(data[3])
value = _decode(data[4])
resp = requests.get(
"https://api.tusksearch.com/Search/Web?q=test&p=1&l=center&nextArgs=&prevArgs=",
# "https://api.tusksearch.com/Search/Image?q=test&p=1&l=center",
headers={
header: value,
'x-lon': str(random.random() * 90),
'x-lat': str(random.random() * 90),
},
)
print(resp.text)
```
Category for searching personal blogs and websites.
Useful if searching for interesting articles on a topic
rather than the mainstream Wikipedia etc. results.
Drop outdated engine attributes: supported_languages, language_aliases
Complete, normalize and document the type definitions for the engine-module and
engine-class.
For the ``engine.about`` section of the configuration, a type check is performed
based on structure ``searx.enginelib.EngineAbout``.
The property ``engine.about.language`` no longer exists; existing values have
been migrated to ``engine.language``.

The results seem to be from Brave (i.e. they are exactly
the same). But it doesn't have any strict rate-limits,
so that's nice.
News support time ranges, but apart from that, unfortunately it doesn't
support any advanced features like safesearch or languages.
T-Online_ is a German news portal.
It gets its web results from Google, image results from Flickr and videos results
from YouTube.
For images and videos, it additionally returns result from its
news catalog. However, for pagination we have to specify the result
type (e.g. either videos from YouTube or from T-Online), so we use
flickr/youtube there instead of tonline because the tonline results
are usually irrelevant.
Add support for https://luxxle.com
Localization is not yet supported because it doesn't seem to work on their
website either, no matter which language I select, it only returns English web
results
RawWeb is a search engine for personal websites / blog posts.
It has its own index and the personal websites were selected
by hand. Results are quite good for what it is imo. [^1]
[^1]: https://github.com/0x2E/RawWeb.org
- adds support for https://reloado.com (german)
- as it has its own index, the results are hit or miss and mostly German,
but still worth integrating imo
Add support for https://startsiden.abcnyheter.no, a netherlandish search engine
that probably uses Google or Bing? idk it also returns English results, but
e.g. ``test`` returns mostly results from netherlands.
S1Search provides various different search services, which all seem
to be somewhat based on Google and Yahoo. The site looks kinda suspicious,
but the results are fine.
You can find a list of their engines by using a subdomain finder like
https://web-toolbox.dev/en/tools/subdomain-lookup and search for `s1search.co`.
Chatnoir is an open source search engine developed by universities, based on
CommonCrawl (and others). It's uncommented by default - we don't want to
overload the universities with bot traffic that targets SearXNG (sad truth why
we can't have nice things anymore)
html.duckduckgo.com captchas all my IPs very fast. I figured out that using
duckduckgo.com works even if html.duckduckgo.com is captcha-ed, hence adding
support for duckduckgo.com's general web search here.
This implementation fetches the link to the first API page
(i.e. ``links.duckduckgo.com/d.js?...``) from duckduckgo.com and uses the ``n``
parameter of the API to fetch all subsequent pages.
This also means that it's not possible to immediately search for the third
page - the first and the second page would need to be loaded first.
The reason why we can't just normally use the `vqd` value is that the API URLs
require an additional parameter `dp` which seems generated at server-side, so we
can't build it ourselves and must scrape it from the HTML pages.
Add support for https://tiger.ch (general, news)
It is disabled and inactive by default because it's just a metasearch engine
like SearXNG is, so it's mostly useful for bypassing rate-limits on other
engines: (it has its own German index, but it's not that great) in theory it
supports different locales, but I was too lazy to implement that (I only need
German and English results anyways, which are returned by default...)
Add support for https://seek.ninja (general)
It's very slow because the engine uses Server-side events, that incrementally
send data in their HTTP response [1].
I.e. we wait for the end of the response (7+ seconds), even though the results
data arrives within a few seconds -> it's very slow, because SearXNG wants to
get the full response body before it calls the `response(resp)` method
We could use httpx-sse [2], but I'm not sure how to integrate this into SearXNG
and if it's worth it

The engine is using very aggressive Cloudflare blocking for
a while now, no matter if using a normal browser like Firefox
or not.

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.
- https://lite.qwant.com seems to be dead.
- The request parameters were changed to match the ones from the Qwant website.
- Qwant is now set to inactive by default due to its strict rate-limits
