Changelog Entry

Description

This PR implements a parameter to control web page loading functionality during online searches. The goal is to accelerate web search by skipping the actual page loading process in scenarios where it can become a bottleneck.

Added

Added a parameter BYPASS_WEB_LOADING_FOR_WEB_SEARCH to toggle web page loading during web searches
Implemented SafeEmptyLoader to initialize Document objects directly with search engine snippets

Changed

Modified the search process to optionally bypass web page loading and use search engine snippets directly as page content

Performance

Improved search performance by reducing network requests and processing time when full page content isn't necessary

Additional Information

This implementation is inspired by Perplexica's approach: https://github.com/ItzCrazyKns/Perplexica/blob/master/src/lib/search/metaSearchAgent.ts#L213
The feature addresses performance issues in web searches where page loading can significantly slow down the process
No new dependencies were added for this implementation
