//! search engines and then removes duplicate results.

/// A function that aggregates all the scraped results from the above upstream engines and
/// then 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.
///
/// # 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.
