"""This is the implementation of the Bing-WEB engine. Some of this
implementations are shared by other engines:
 
- :ref:`bing images engine`
- :ref:`bing news engine`
- :ref:`bing videos engine`
 
On the `preference page`_ Bing offers a lot of languages an regions (see section
LANGUAGE and COUNTRY/REGION).  The Language is the language of the UI, we need
in SearXNG to get the translations of data such as *"published last week"*.
 
There is a description of the offical search-APIs_, unfortunately this is not
the API we can use or that bing itself would use.  You can look up some things
in the API to get a better picture of bing, but the value specifications like
the market codes are usually outdated or at least no longer used by bing itself.
 
The market codes have been harmonized and are identical for web, video and
images.  The news area has also been harmonized with the other categories.  Only
political adjustments still seem to be made -- for example, there is no news
category for the Chinese market.
