#1473 converted the title and sports-hint matches in services/search/ranking.py
to word boundaries but left two raw substring tests:
- snippet_score: 'term in snippet.lower()' — query term 'port' hits
'transport'/'support', inflating a result's relevance.
- news_quality_adjustment: 't in text or t in netloc' for the subject term —
query 'us' substring-matches 'business'/'music', so an off-topic page
wrongly escapes the off-topic penalty on a country/subject news query.
Add a _has_word helper (the same \b...\b pattern title_score already used) and
route all three word checks (title, snippet, subject) through it, so the file
stays consistent and a future partial fix can't reintroduce the same bug class.
Pure ranking refinement: scores change only for spurious substring matches; no
API or schema change.

tavily_search, serper_search and google_pse_search parsed response.json()
inside the network try block, which only caught httpx.RequestError and
RateLimitError. When a provider returned a non-JSON body (an HTML error page, a
truncated/empty body, a gateway 5xx), response.json() raised an UNCAUGHT
json.JSONDecodeError that aborted the search in the background — exactly the
'search engines other than SearXNG fail in the background' symptom.
brave_search already handles this correctly: it parses JSON in its own try
block and returns [] on json.JSONDecodeError. Mirror that in the other three
providers so a malformed provider response degrades to no-results instead of
propagating an exception.
Adds tests/test_search_provider_json.py: a non-JSON 200 body now yields [] for
tavily, serper, google_pse, and brave (the last guards the reference behaviour).

Make services.search.analytics tolerate missing counters in older or partial analytics files by merging loaded data over defaults, with regression coverage.
SearchService.search() did:
raw_results = await comprehensive_web_search(
query, max_results=10 * depth, fetch_content=fetch_content)
comprehensive_web_search is a synchronous function whose count knob is
`max_pages` (not `max_results`) and which has no `fetch_content` parameter, so
the call raised TypeError on argument binding; `await` on its non-coroutine
return would also fail. It returns a context string, or a (context, sources)
tuple with return_sources=True — not the list of dicts the wrapper iterates.
The method is exported in services/search/__init__.py and services/__init__.py
with a usage example in its docstring, so any caller of the documented public
API hit an immediate crash. Call it correctly via asyncio.to_thread with
max_pages + return_sources=True and use the returned source list as the rows.

get_search_config returned SEARCH_CONFIG.copy(), and update_search_config
cached the decrypted Brave key into that shared global at startup
(app_initializer), so the unauthenticated /api/search/config route exposed
the operator's key. The cache was dead weight: brave_search reads its key
via _get_provider_key (settings/env), never SEARCH_CONFIG.
- update_search_config: no longer stores the api_key in the shared global
(accepted for backward compat; provider keys are read on demand).
- get_search_config: scrub any string-valued credential field before
returning, preserving the has_api_key presence flag.
No schema change; brave_search/_get_provider_key untouched. Adds regression
tests.
Fixes#1661

* 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
* 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
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
