Bug#976322: searx: fails to do any search, python3 compatibility issue

[Dimitris]

Package: searx
Version: 0.17.0+dfsg1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,





ERROR:searx.webapp:search error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/searx/webapp.py", line 578, in index
    result_container = search.search()

    super(SearchWithPlugins, self).search()

    if th.isAlive():
AttributeError: 'Thread' object has no attribute 'isAlive'


looked around in upstream bugs and found this patch :
https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/2108/commits/3b8bd0770bff2486c30012606562e4d90e23d655
applied it manually and now searching works as expected.

so please include it in searx/bullseye.

thanks in advance,
d.
