"!ddg !g something" returns no result / same to "!brave !g something" (brave XPath engine)

[dalf]

What is happening?

• !ddg is a bang that selects the duckduckgo engine.
• !g is NOT a bang: it is send as part of the query

--> "!ddg !g something" search for "!g something" on duckduckgo
--> DDG redirects to google with the search "something"
--> SearXNG can't parse the result (and record an unexpected redirect)

The same things happens with the Brave engine ( !brave !g something)

What is expected?

Search for !g something without the following the DDG bang.
It seems it is possible with quote: "!g" something.

If this solution is not reliable:

• at least display a warning to the user
• display a warning in the autocompletion

[allendema]

The same applies to Brave engine (They seem to use the same bangs as DDG)

!brave !g something

[not-my-profile]

The warning displayed to the user should suggest our external bang syntax e.g. attempting !ddg !g should suggest !!g.

if still valid, brave has the same issue : #392 (comment)

Sorry I merged my PR accidental .. without asking for a review .. (see my comment on matrix) .. we can reopen this issue, but if it is OK, I prefer to handle the brave issue in #2294.

You may want to keep the issue open, that's just what I was saying.
