-"""seekr.com Seeker Score
-
-Seekr is a privately held search and content evaluation engine that prioritizes
-credibility over popularity.
-
-Configuration
-=============
-
-The engine has the following additional settings:
-
-- :py:obj:`seekr_category`
-- :py:obj:`api_key`
-
-This implementation is used by seekr engines in the :ref:`settings.yml
-<settings engines>`:
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
-  - name: seekr news
-    seekr_category: news
-    ...
-  - name: seekr images
-    seekr_category: images
-    ...
-  - name: seekr videos
-    seekr_category: videos
-    ...
-
-Known Quirks
-============
-
-The implementation to support :py:obj:`paging <searx.enginelib.Engine.paging>`
-is based on the *nextpage* method of Seekr's REST API.  This feature is *next
-page driven* and plays well with the :ref:`infinite_scroll <settings plugins>`
-plugin in SearXNG but it does not really fit into SearXNG's UI to select a page
-by number.
