Description
The Perplexity chat model already returns a search_results field, but
LangChain dropped it when mapping Perplexity responses to
additional_kwargs.
This patch adds "search_results" to the allowed attribute lists in both
_stream and _generate, so downstream code can access it just like
images, citations, or related_questions.
Dependencies
None. The change is purely internal; no new imports or optional
dependencies required.

This PR fixes an issue where ChatPerplexity would raise an
AttributeError when the citations attribute was missing from the model
response (e.g., when using offline models like r1-1776).
The fix checks for the presence of citations, images, and
related_questions before attempting to access them, avoiding crashes in
models that don't provide these fields.
Tested locally with models that omit citations, and the fix works as
expected.
Perplexity's importance in the space has been growing, so we think it's
time to add an official integration!
Note: following the release of `langchain-perplexity` to `pypi`, we
should be able to add `perplexity` as an extra in
`libs/langchain/pyproject.toml`, but we're blocked by a circular import
for now.
