Thanks so much for this wonderful platform. We love this a lot and have been integrating this with our daily work.

Currently, we setup a self-hosted searxng engine which was enabled to search our intranet and we did setup a category intranet for it.

It would be great if the websearch can allow user to specify categories for searxng so that the search results could all be from the specified categories (such as intranet in our case). In this way, the LLM can more focus on the intranet documents.

To accomplish this, I found out that the searxng backend in the openweb-ui did support the input of categories in the form of kwargs.

I think some tweat on the UI and the setup of ENV variables would easily enable this feature.

If it sounds plausible for you, I am happy to do a PR.
