I have a bash script that modifies the settings.yml file, and can't quite figure out how to update the settings of my local searx instance without stopping and starting it.
I've tried this (pulled from settings_loader), but no luck.

    cfg, msg = searx.settings_loader.load_settings(load_user_settings=True)
    cfg = cfg or {}
    apply_schema(cfg, SCHEMA, [])

    settings.clear()
    settings.update(cfg)

Any tips are greatly appreciated.
