YouTube Data API v3 engine:
- Add YouTubeConfig to EnginesConfig with api_key field
- Add YOUTUBE_API_KEY env override
- Thread *config.Config through search service to factory
- Factory falls back to env vars if config fields are empty
- Update config.example.toml with youtube section
Also update default local_ported to include google and youtube.
Uses the official YouTube Data API v3. Requires YOUTUBE_API_KEY
environment variable (free from Google Cloud Console).
Returns video results with title, description, channel, publish
date, and thumbnail URL. Falls back gracefully if no API key.
SearXNG approach: use Google Search Appliance (GSA) User-Agent
pool — these are whitelisted enterprise identifiers Google trusts.
Key techniques:
- GSA User-Agent (iPhone OS + GSA/ version) instead of Chrome desktop
- CONSENT=YES+ cookie to bypass EU consent wall
- Parse /url?q= redirector URLs (unquote + strip &sa= params)
- div.MjjYud class for result containers (SearXNG selector)
- data-sncf divs for snippets
- detect sorry.google.com blocks
- Suggestions from ouy7Mc class cards
- Rename cmd/searxng-go to cmd/kafka
- Remove all SearXNG references from source comments while keeping
"SearXNG-compatible API" in user-facing docs
- Update binary paths in README, CLAUDE.md, and Dockerfile
- Update log message to "kafka starting"
