* fix: detect question words as whole words, not prefixes
* fix: same question-word prefix bug in the services search copy
* test: question-word detection rejects prefix lookalikes
* refactor: single _default_analytics() instead of duplicated default dicts
* fix: merge analytics defaults so an old/partial file doesn't KeyError on record
* test: analytics load merges defaults; record survives a partial file
src/search/ranking.py computed result age as `(datetime.now() - dt).days`, where
`dt` is parsed from a UTC-style published date with no timezone. Using local
`datetime.now()` skewed the age by the host's UTC offset (off-by-up-to-a-day near
boundaries), and was a latent crash: once neighbouring code becomes timezone-aware
the naive/aware subtraction raises TypeError (the landmine called out in #1116).
Recency is now measured against naive UTC. The scoring is also lifted out of the
rank_search_results closure into a module-level, time-injectable `recency_score`
so it's unit-testable, and `_utcnow_naive()` avoids `datetime.utcnow()` (removed in
Python 3.14).
Covered by tests/test_search_ranking_recency.py (5 cases); the existing
tests/test_search_ranking.py still passes.

* fix: only extract quotes whose closing quote matches the opening one
* fix: same mismatched-quote bug in the services search copy
* test: extract_quotes requires matching open/close quotes
_resolve_ddg_redirect (the DuckDuckGo /l/?uddg= redirect resolver used on every
HTML-fallback result href) gated on `"duckduckgo.com" in parsed.hostname`. That
substring test also matches look-alike hosts like `duckduckgo.com.evil.com` and
`notduckduckgo.com`, so a result link on such a host would be silently rewritten
to its embedded `uddg` target. Same substring-vs-hostname pitfall fixed for
provider detection in 54ecfa3.
Match the host properly: exactly `duckduckgo.com` or a `.duckduckgo.com`
subdomain. Genuine redirects (`//duckduckgo.com/l/...`, and relative `/l/...`
hrefs resolved against `html.duckduckgo.com`) keep working.
The resolver was a closure inside duckduckgo_search; lifted it (plus the new
_is_duckduckgo_host helper) to module scope so it can be unit-tested directly.
Adds tests/test_ddg_redirect_resolution.py (red on the look-alike case before
this change, green after).
#718 reported Deep Research drifting into adult / spam URLs several
rounds into a benign session ("research about https://bhagathgoud.com/
and what he doing currently"). The reporter's log showed Japanese
adult sites being crawled even though the model was emitting normal
queries like "Bhagath Goud LinkedIn" and "site:bhagathgoud.com".
The model wasn't generating those URLs. Every provider call site
constructed its params dict without a SafeSearch parameter, so the
underlying HTTP backend (the duckduckgo-search library / DDG's HTML
endpoint in this case) was free to surface "related search" /
trending / spam recommendations that have nothing to do with the
user's query. Per provider:
- SearXNG: instance-dependent; many self-hosted instances default
to safesearch=0.
- Brave API: defaults to "off" for new API keys.
- duckduckgo-search lib: defaults to "moderate", which still lets
related-search recommendations and HTTP-backend fallback URLs
surface trending non-English spam topics.
- DDG HTML fallback (html.duckduckgo.com): no `kp` param, treated
as off.
- Google PSE: omitted `safe` is equivalent to off.
- Serper: omitted `safe` proxies to Google with safe off.
Since the bad URLs entered through the provider layer, not the
model, the provider params are the right place to gate this.
Changes:
- src/settings.py: new `search_safesearch` setting with default
"strict". Documented values ("strict" | "moderate" | "off") plus
a few aliases ("on", "high", "0/1/2", "disabled", ...) so a
hand-edited config doesn't silently fall through to off.
- src/search/providers.py:
- Add `_get_safesearch_level()` (canonical, normalizing) and
`_safesearch_for(provider)` (per-provider param translation).
- Thread the per-provider value into every params dict:
SearXNG JSON, SearXNG language/engines fallbacks, SearXNG HTML,
Brave, DDG library, DDG HTML fallback, Google PSE, Serper.
- Tavily is left untouched — its API has no SafeSearch knob and
its index already filters explicit content at ingest time.
Behavior change for existing installs: default is now "strict", so
explicit results get filtered across every supported provider
without any user action. Users who deliberately want unfiltered
results can set `search_safesearch` to "off" in Settings. No new
dependencies, no schema migrations.
Closes#718.
invalidate_search_cache(query) built its cache key as
generate_cache_key(f"{query}|10|None"), but the write path
(searxng_search_results) replaces the caller's default count of 10 with the
admin-configured _get_result_count() (default 5) before building the key.
So a default search for "X" is cached under "X|5|None", while invalidation
looked for "X|10|None" — they never match, and invalidate_search_cache
silently failed to remove anything in the default configuration, violating
its docstring ("invalidate ... just the given query").
Derive the count from _get_result_count() so invalidation matches the
default-search entry the write path actually stores. The same bug (and fix)
applies to both the src/search and services/search copies.
Note: time-filtered variants (e.g. "X|5|day") still aren't reachable from a
query-only signature, since cache keys are opaque SHA-256 hashes with no
stored query; clearing those would need a broader cache-index redesign and is
out of scope here.
Adds tests/test_search_cache_invalidation.py covering the default-count case.
The DuckDuckGo HTML fallback returns redirect URLs (//duckduckgo.com/l/?uddg=...)
instead of actual page URLs. This caused fetch_webpage_content() to reject them
instantly because _public_http_url() requires an http/https scheme, making search
results unfetchable in deep research mode.
Added _resolve_url() to:
- Convert protocol-relative URLs to absolute (https:)
- Convert path-relative URLs to absolute
- Extract the real URL from DuckDuckGo's /l/?uddg= redirect parameters
* fix: extract full year in research query entities, not just the century
* fix: same year capture-group bug in the services search copy
* test: research query extracts the full year
* feat(web-fetch): add web_fetch tool to read a specific URL's content
* test(web-fetch): add SSRF coverage and fail closed on empty DNS resolution
Add explicit SSRF regression tests for the web_fetch path covering
loopback, private LAN ranges, link-local/metadata, IPv6 private/local,
redirect-into-private, and unsupported schemes. Harden _public_http_url
to fail closed when a hostname resolves to no addresses.
