"""Script to run searx from terminal.
Getting categories without initiate the engine will only return `['general']`
>>> import searx.engines
... list(searx.engines.categories.keys())
['general']
>>> import searx.search
... searx.search.initialize()
... list(searx.engines.categories.keys())
['general', 'it', 'science', 'images', 'news', 'videos', 'music', 'files', 'social media', 'map']
Example to use this script:
.. code:: bash
$ python3 searx_extra/standalone_searx.py rain
Example to run it from python:
>>> import importlib
... import json
... import sys
... import searx.engines
... import searx.search
... search_query = 'rain'
... # initialize engines
... searx.search.initialize()
... # load engines categories once instead of each time the function called
... engine_cs = list(searx.engines.categories.keys())
... # load module
... spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(
... 'utils.standalone_searx', 'utils/standalone_searx.py')
... sas = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
... spec.loader.exec_module(sas)
... # use function from module
... prog_args = sas.parse_argument([search_query], category_choices=engine_cs)
... search_q = sas.get_search_query(prog_args, engine_categories=engine_cs)
... res_dict = sas.to_dict(search_q)
