[fix] remove broken ? search operator
The ? search operator has been broken for some time and currently only raises the question why it's still there. ## Context ## The query "Paris !images" searches for "Paris" in the "images" category. Once upon a time Searx supported "Paris ?images" to search for "Paris" in the currently enabled categories and the "images" category. The feature makes sense ... the ? syntax does not. We will hopefully introduce a +!images syntax in the future. Fixes #702.
