By default, f-strings use __str__ not __repr__, unless supplied with a
"!r" at the end of the str. Rather than going through and making the
strings work for the overridden __repr__ for endpoints, it's easier just
to convert the method over to __str__.
Also cleaned up some broken routes and formatting.
Simplifying routing a bit helps me to check which endpoint the user is
visiting. Also will make it a lot easier down the road to rewrite,
whenever I get around to renaming "autocomplete" to a more appropriate
name (like "suggestion" or something).
Addresses an issue where re-running an instance on replit caused an
`[ERNO 98] Address already in use` error. Now it kills whatever process
is running on the default Whoogle port (5000) before running the app.
Fixes#531
Validation of the Tor connection occasionally fails with a
ConnectionError from requests, which was previously uncaught. This is
now handled appropriately (error message shown and connection dropped).
Fixes#532
This checks the latest released version of Whoogle against
the current app version, and shows an "update available"
message if the current version num < latest release num.
Closes#305
The config menu has gotten out of control recently, but rather than
reducing functionality, I'm just going to set a max height for the div
and allow scrolling within the menu.
Ultimately though this indicates that the app is getting a bit too
complicated (imo). Striking a balance between customization and
minimalism is less of a priority for me nowadays though, hence why I'm
willing to let it slide for now. At some point, maybe when there are
more contributors, it could be nice to refactor this in some way so that
it isn't overwhelming to new users who are looking to customize their
instance (that's just me speculating btw, I haven't actually heard from
anyone who thinks there are too many options in that menu).
Using `format` for formatting bang queries caused a KeyError for some
searches, such as !hd (HUDOC). In that example, the URL returned in the
bangs json was `http://...#{%22fulltext%22:[%22{}%22]...`, where
standard formatting would not work due to the misidentification of
"fulltext" as a formatting key.
The logic has been updated to just replace the first occurence of "{}"
in the URL returned by the bangs dict.
Fixes#513
Due to how the response is now reformed into a new bsoup object when
bolding search query terms, creating an ip card for "my ip" searches
threw an error due to how the new bsoup object was initialized for the
"my ip" card. This passes the response in as a string instead.
Fixes#504
DDG style bang searches can now have the bang (!) at the end of
the search (i.e. "bologna w!" will now redirect to wikipedia just like
"bologna !w" would)
Since the request class is loaded prior to values being read from the
user's dotenv, the WHOOGLE_RESULT_PER_PAGE var wasn't being used for
searches.
This moves the definition of the base search url to be intialized in the
request class to address this issue.
Fixes#497
variables.css doesn't need to be loaded by any template, since
WHOOGLE_CONFIG_STYLE loads those values by default when not set
explicitly. Loading the stylesheet caused the logo colors to be
persistent unless set individually.
Sorry @gripped for sneaking all of this unnecessary color in...
Fixes#492
This modifies the search result page by bold-ing all appearances
of any word in the original query. If portions of the query are in
quotes (i.e. "ice cream"), only exact matches of the sequence of
words will be made bold.

Activating minimal mode should also remove all collapsed sections, if
any are found.
WHOOGLE_MINIMAL now documented in readme and app.json (for heroku).
The "no JS" and "no cookies" portions of the readme warranted further
explanation. Since Whoogle uses JS and server-side cookies, it might be
confusing to a passerby what is actually meant by this.
Note that both JS and cookies can be blocked and Whoogle will still be
able to perform searches perfectly well.
Also updated the "theme" feature description
I've gotten a bit bored of the current light/dark themes, so I'm
switching the default theme over to the Doppelganger theme, which is a
better template/jumping off point for users to use when creating custom
themes since it also provides examples for coloring each of the Whoogle
logo letters.
The levelup.gitconnected.com site is a Medium site that can also be
replaced with scribe.rip whenever privacy respecting site alternatives
are enabled in the config.
Also modified how link descriptions are updated when that config is
enabled (before it was missing replacements on quite a few
descriptions).
This introduces a new approach to handling user sessions.
Previously, when a user with cookies disabled would update their config,
this would modify the app's default config file, which would in turn
cause new users to inherit these settings when visiting the app for the
first time. There was also some janky logic for determining on the
backend whether or not a user had cookies disabled, which lead to some
issues with out of control session creation by Flask.
Now, when a user visits the site, their initial request is forwarded to
a `session/<session id>` endpoint, and during that subsequent request
their current session id is matched against the one found in the url. If
the ids match, the user has cookies enabled. If not, their original
request is modified with a 'cookies_disabled' query param that tells
Flask not to bother trying to set up a new session for that user, and
instead just use the app's fallback Fernet key for encryption and the
default config.
Sessions are also now (semi)permanent and have a lifetime of 1 year.
