Problem Description
Searxng is forced to use the "en-US" language in the openwebui code.
In my case, the searches are biased in French.
I had to implement a workaround to proxy the Searxng search and set the language parameter to "fr-FR".
Desired Solution you'd like
In the "Web Search" settings, have a field to define the language to use in Searxng.
Or, more simply, remove the hardcoded field from the code and specify it in the Searxng settings.
