v0.7.0
This release came around a little faster than normal, but still has some pretty worthwhile new features, improvements, and fixes.
Features/Improvements
- Farside integration
- This is a new service (developed by me) that provides a few new benefits that didn't quite fit into Whoogle itself, namely:
- "Smart" redirecting to available/working instances of alternative frontends like Nitter, Bibliogram, etc
- Allows quickly jumping to new Whoogle instances to resume your search if the one you're using is blocked
- All of your config settings should be parameterized in the generated Farside URL
- Switching to a valid Searx instance if your instance is blocked and there aren't any other Whoogle instances available (or you just feel like switching to Searx)
- Evenly distributing traffic to Nitter/Bibliogram/Libreddit instances rather than pooling users on popular instances and creating problems for the maintainer of the instance
- This is a new service (developed by me) that provides a few new benefits that didn't quite fit into Whoogle itself, namely:
- Scribe replacements for Medium links
- New environment variables:
WHOOGLE_MINIMALto declutter the result page and only return "regular" result cardsWHOOGLE_RESULTS_PER_PAGEto set the number of results per page (wow who would've guessed!)WHOOGLE_AUTOCOMPLETEdefaults to "on", but can be set to0to turn off search suggestions
- Search terms are now bold in search results
- Support DDG bangs with the
!at the end (for short-style bangs) - Improved NoJS link formatting in results
- Instance now shows an "Update Available" message if the instance is not using the latest release
- Whoogle can now be deployed via Helm chart (#522)
- Improved public instance session management
- This is a dramatic improvement to how user sessions were handled previously. The new approach enforces that each new user to a Whoogle instance inherits an immutable set of default configuration parameters. Whoogle then validates if the user is allowing cookies to be set by forwarding them to a
/sessionURL that checks for changes to their session ID. If the ID has changed, then the user likely has cookies disabled, and they are blocked from changing their config settings. - This should help immensely on public instances where the default config was previously always changing.

- The "Country" config setting can now be used to emulate a search in that specified country
- Very useful for public instances that are hosted outside of your geographic location, but you still want relevant results for the country you live in
New Translations
- Russian

Version 0.5.4
Reverts changes to default language configuration that reduced functionality for some bilingual users.
When a language is not specified, the language interpretation is left up to Google to decide how the search results should be delivered. If any user is affected by IP geolocation, where the server that their instance is deployed on (or VPN that they are using) causes the interface or search results to be delivered in a different language than desired, the correct solution should be to set the interface/search language to a non-default setting.
Version 0.5.3
Minor update with the following improvements/patches:
- New interface translations (Dutch, Portuguese, German)
- Security patch for urllib dependency (1.25.9 -> 1.26.5)
- Added English fallback when an interface or search language is not specified
