 <p id="module-searx.engines.qwant">This engine uses the Qwant API (<a class="reference external" href="https://api.qwant.com/v3">https://api.qwant.com/v3</a>) to implement Qwant
 -Web, -News, -Images and -Videos.  The API is undocumented but can be reverse
 engineered by reading the network log of <a class="reference external" href="https://www.qwant.com/">https://www.qwant.com/</a> queries.</p>
 <p>For Qwant’s <em>web-search</em> two alternatives are implemented:</p>
 <ul class="simple">
