Version of SearXNG, commit number if you are using on master branch and stipulate if you forked SearXNG

2024.9.21+0b3724651

How did you install SearXNG?

using searxng-docker

What happened?

Cannot remove qwant from the engine used. Not an issue with google so it should be only a qwant thing.

How To Reproduce

Set this in the settings.yml file:

use_default_settings:
  engines:
    remove:
      - qwant

Expected behavior

qwant is removed from the engine used by SearxNG

searxng  | KeyError: 'qwant'

Additional context

Qwant always came back with gibberish results(?), that's why I want to disable it.

If you remove qwant (web), you remove the qwant network which is used by other qwant engines (images, videos, news --> network: qwant). I assume your intention is to remove all theses qwatn engines.
