[fix] improve OpenSearch description
Some HTTP-Clients do have issues with the ``opensearch.xml`` from SearXNG
(related [1][2]) while other OpenSearch descriptions[3] (e.g. from qwant) work
flawles.
Inspired by the OpenSearch description from qwant and with informations from the
specification[4] the ``opensearch.xml`` has been *improved*.
- convert `<Url>` methods from lower case to upper case (`POST`|`GET`)
- add `<moz:SearchForm>` and `xmlns:moz="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/browser/search/"`
- add `<Query role="example" searchTerms="SearXNG" />` [4]
OpenSearch description documents should include at least one Query element of
`role="example"` that is expected to return search results. Search clients may
use this example query to validate that the search engine is working properly.
- modified `<LongName>` to SearXNG
- modified `<Description>` the word 'hackable' scares uninitiated users and was removed
- add the `type="image/png"` to `<Image>`
Test can be done by::
make run
Visit http://127.0.0.1:8888/ and add the search engine to your WEB-Browser /
test with different WEB-Browser from desktop and Smartphones (are there any iOS
user here, please test on Safari and Chrome).
