Detailed Description

Mullvad Leta is a search engine proxy. Currently Leta only offers text
search results not image, news or any other types of search result.  Leta acts
as a proxy to Google and Brave search results. You can select which backend
search engine you wish to use, see  (:py:obj:`leta_engine`).

.. hint::

   Leta caches each search for up to 30 days.  For example, if you use search
   terms like ``news``, contrary to your intention you'll get very old results!


Configuration
=============

The engine has the following additional settings:

- :py:obj:`leta_engine` (:py:obj:`LetaEnginesType`)

You can configure one Leta engine for Google and one for Brave:

.. code:: yaml

  - name: mullvadleta
    engine: mullvad_leta
    leta_engine: google
    shortcut: ml

  - name: mullvadleta brave
    engine: mullvad_leta
    network: mullvadleta  # use network from engine "mullvadleta" configured above
    leta_engine: brave
    shortcut: mlb
