Bug Report

Description

Correct URL for SearX instance ( eg, https://metasearx.com/search?q=<query> ) returns error.

• Confirmed that -json is enabled in the SearX instance

Bug Summary:
Error message:
"Something went wrong :/ Oops! The URL you provided is invalid. Please double-check and try again"

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open admin panel, settings, websearch.
2. Searxng Query URL enter: https://metasearx.com/search?q=<query>
3. Save settings
4. Open a new chat and enable websearch
5. Error returned

You can verify that the json is returned correctly for eg:
https://metasearx.com/search?q=what is the weather? &format=json&pageno=1&safesearch=1&language=en-US&time_range=&categories=&theme=simple&image_proxy=0

You get mixed results when you adjust the URL for example,:
https://metasearx.com/?q=%

There is no error and sites are returned, however they are:
https://www.math.net/percentage
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent_sign

Adding in <query> anywhere seems to break the process.

Expected Behavior:
Entering a query with websearch enabled and the websearch searx query url set to https://metasearx.com/search?q=<query>queries the searx instance, returns the JSON and answers the query based on results.

Actual Behavior:
Entering a query with websearch enabled and the websearch searx query url set to https://metasearx.com/search?q=<query> queries the searx instance, returns "Something went wrong :/ Oops! The URL you provided is invalid. Please double-check and try again"

Additional Information

From the testing that I have done, even with my own searx instance (not local) and ensuring that json format is enabled the results come back if I use the url directly in the browser. For some reason open-webui thinks that the json results returned are an error.

There is something funky happening with the way <query> is parsed.
