Demo Offline Engine

Within this module we implement a demo offline engine. Do not look to close to the implementation, its just a simple example. To get in use of this demo engine add the following entry to your engines list in settings.yml:

- name: my offline engine
  engine: demo_offline
  shortcut: demo
  disabled: false

searx.engines.demo_offline.init(engine_settings=None)

Initialization of the (offline) engine. The origin of this demo engine is a simple json string which is loaded in this example while the engine is initialized.

searx.engines.demo_offline.search(query, request_params)

Query (offline) engine and return results. Assemble the list of results from your local engine. In this demo engine we ignore the ‘query’ term, usual you would pass the ‘query’ term to your local engine to filter out the results.
