SearxNG meta search api helper (#854)

This is a work in progress PR to track my progres.

## TODO:

- [x]  Get results using the specifed searx host
- [x]  Prioritize returning an  `answer`  or results otherwise
    - [ ] expose the field `infobox` when available
    - [ ] expose `score` of result to help agent's decision
- [ ] expose the `suggestions` field to agents so they could try new
queries if no results are found with the orignial query ?

- [ ] Dynamic tool description for agents ?
- Searx offers many engines and a search syntax that agents can take
advantage of. It would be nice to generate a dynamic Tool description so
that it can be used many times as a tool but for different purposes.

- [x]  Limit number of results
- [ ]   Implement paging
- [x]  Miror the usage of the Google Search tool
- [x] easy selection of search engines
- [x]  Documentation
    - [ ] update HowTo guide notebook on Search Tools
- [ ] Handle async 
- [ ]  Tests

###  Add examples / documentation on possible uses with
 - [ ]  getting factual answers with `!wiki` option and `infoboxes`
 - [ ]  getting `suggestions`
 - [ ]  getting `corrections`
