Bing Engines¶
Bing WEB¶
This is the implementation of the Bing-WEB engine. Some of this implementations are shared by other engines:
On the preference page Bing offers a lot of languages an regions (see section LANGUAGE and COUNTRY/REGION). The Language is the language of the UI, we need in SearXNG to get the translations of data such as “published last week”.
There is a description of the offical search-APIs, unfortunately this is not the API we can use or that bing itself would use. You can look up some things in the API to get a better picture of bing, but the value specifications like the market codes are usually outdated or at least no longer used by bing itself.
The market codes have been harmonized and are identical for web, video and images. The news area has also been harmonized with the other categories. Only political adjustments still seem to be made – for example, there is no news category for the Chinese market.
- searx.engines.bing.fetch_traits(engine_traits: EngineTraits)[source]¶
Fetch languages and regions from Bing-Web.
- searx.engines.bing.base_url = 'https://www.bing.com/search'¶
Bing (Web) search URL
- searx.engines.bing.max_page = 200¶
200 pages maximum (
&first=1991
)
- searx.engines.bing.safesearch = True¶
Bing results are always SFW. To get NSFW links from bing some age verification by a cookie is needed / thats not possible in SearXNG.
Bing Images¶
Bing-Images: description see searx.engines.bing
.
- searx.engines.bing_images.base_url = 'https://www.bing.com/images/async'¶
Bing (Images) search URL
Bing Videos¶
Bing-Videos: description see searx.engines.bing
.
- searx.engines.bing_videos.base_url = 'https://www.bing.com/videos/asyncv2'¶
Bing (Videos) async search URL.
Bing News¶
Bing-News: description see searx.engines.bing
.
Hint
Bing News is different in some ways!
- searx.engines.bing_news.fetch_traits(engine_traits: EngineTraits)[source]¶
Fetch languages and regions from Bing-News.
- searx.engines.bing_news.base_url = 'https://www.bing.com/news/infinitescrollajax'¶
Bing (News) search URL
- searx.engines.bing_news.paging = True¶
If go through the pages and there are actually no new results for another page, then bing returns the results from the last page again.
- searx.engines.bing_news.time_map = {'day': 'interval="4"', 'month': 'interval="9"', 'week': 'interval="7"'}¶
A string ‘4’ means last hour. We use last hour for
day
here since the difference of last day and last week in the result list is just marginally. Bing does not have news rangeyear
/ we usemonth
instead.
