- Use local SearXNG at localhost:8888 instead of Google News RSS
- No more 302 redirects or blocked requests — local is fast and reliable
- 5s timeout on all SearXNG requests
- Removed async locks (no contention needed for local service)
- Re-enabled research and headlines

- Google News RSS returns 302: add follow_redirects and User-Agent header
- Cache failed headline fetches for 5min so they don't retry every call
- Add 8s timeout on background research tasks
- Fix keyword extraction: skip short texts, require 2+ proper nouns (not names),
increase min word length to 6, add radio show filler to stop words
- Stops garbage searches like "Megan welcome" and "sounds thats youre"
