query: let her search the live web before she reads the ZIMs

The offline encyclopedia was the only world source, and it reads what was true
when the ZIM was built. A self-hosted SearXNG now asks first and Kiwix is the
fallback for an empty result, an unreachable instance or no line out. Owner's
ruling, 2026-08-02.

internal/websearch is deliberately thin: no rewriter (SearXNG ranks through
real engines, so the Russian question goes out as he asked it), no page fetch,
no cache. It cannot read the store, so only the query string can leave the box.

The personal boundary is unchanged and still sits above this source, so a
question about him is never searched.
