Plugins can extend or replace functionality of various components of searx.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Example plugin
 | 
						|
==============
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: python
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   name = 'Example plugin'
 | 
						|
   description = 'This plugin extends the suggestions with the word "example"'
 | 
						|
   default_on = False  # disabled by default
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   js_dependencies = tuple()  # optional, list of static js files
 | 
						|
   css_dependencies = tuple()  # optional, list of static css files
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   # attach callback to the post search hook
 | 
						|
   #  request: flask request object
 | 
						|
   #  ctx: the whole local context of the post search hook
 | 
						|
   def post_search(request, search):
 | 
						|
       search.result_container.suggestions.add('example')
 | 
						|
       return True
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
External plugins
 | 
						|
================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SearXNG supports *external plugins* / there is no need to install one, SearXNG
 | 
						|
runs out of the box.  But to demonstrate; in the example below we install the
 | 
						|
SearXNG plugins from *The Green Web Foundation* `[ref]
 | 
						|
<https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/searching-the-green-web-with-searx/>`__:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   $ sudo utils/searxng.sh instance cmd bash
 | 
						|
   (searxng-pyenv)$ pip install git+https://github.com/return42/tgwf-searx-plugins
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In the :ref:`settings.yml` activate the ``plugins:`` section and add module
 | 
						|
``only_show_green_results`` from ``tgwf-searx-plugins``.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   plugins:
 | 
						|
     ...
 | 
						|
     - only_show_green_results
 | 
						|
     ...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Plugin entry points
 | 
						|
===================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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. A plugin doesn't need to implement all the hooks.
 |

.. py:function:: pre_search(request, search) -> bool
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Runs BEFORE the search request.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   `search.result_container` can be changed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Return a boolean:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   * True to continue the search
 | 
						|
   * False to stop the search
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   :param flask.request request:
 | 
						|
   :param searx.search.SearchWithPlugins search:
 | 
						|
   :return: False to stop the search
 | 
						|
   :rtype: bool
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. py:function:: post_search(request, search) -> None
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Runs AFTER the search request.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   :param flask.request request: Flask request.
 | 
						|
   :param searx.search.SearchWithPlugins search: Context.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. py:function:: on_result(request, search, result) -> bool
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Runs for each result of each engine.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   `result` can be changed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   If `result["url"]` is defined, then `result["parsed_url"] = urlparse(result['url'])`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. warning::
 | 
						|
      `result["url"]` can be changed, but `result["parsed_url"]` must be updated too.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   Return a boolean:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   * True to keep the result
 | 
						|
   * False to remove the result
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   :param flask.request request:
 | 
						|
   :param searx.search.SearchWithPlugins search:
 | 
						|
   :param typing.Dict result: Result, see - :ref:`engine results`
 | 
						|
   :return: True to keep the result
 | 
						|
   :rtype: bool
