/// A function that aggregates all the scraped results from the above user selected upstream
/// search engines either selected from the UI or from the config file which is handled by the code
/// by matching over the selected search engines and adding the selected ones to the vector which
/// is then used to create an async task vector with `tokio::spawn` which returns a future which
/// is then awaited on in another loop and then all the collected results is filtered for errors
/// and proper results and if an error is found is then sent to the UI with the engine name and the
/// error type that caused it by putting them finallt in the returned `SearchResults` struct. Also
/// the same process also removes duplicate results and if two results are found to be from two or
/// more engines then puts their names together to show the results are fetched from these upstream
/// engines and then removes all data from the HashMap and puts into a struct of all results aggregated
/// into a vector and also adds the query used into the struct this is neccessory because otherwise the
/// search bar in search remains empty if searched from the query url.
///
/// # Example:
///
/// If you search from the url like `https://127.0.0.1/search?q=huston` then the search bar should
/// contain the word huston and not remain empty.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `query` - Accepts a string to query with the above upstream search engines.
/// * `page` - Accepts an u32 page number.
/// * `random_delay` - Accepts a boolean value to add a random delay before making the request.
/// * `debug` - Accepts a boolean value to enable or disable debug mode option.
/// * `upstream_search_engines` - Accepts a vector of search engine names which was selected by the
/// user through the UI or the config file.
///
/// # Error
///
/// Returns an error a reqwest and scraping selector errors if any error occurs in the results
/// function in either `searx` or `duckduckgo` or both otherwise returns a `SearchResults struct`
/// containing appropriate values.
