fix: thread searxng URL through research functions via _SEARXNG_URL constant

- Add module-level _SEARXNG_URL derived from UserProfile.searxng_url (or default localhost:8888)
- Update all _searxng_running() call sites to pass _SEARXNG_URL explicitly
- Replace hardcoded "http://localhost:8888/" in _scrape_company() with _SEARXNG_URL + "/"
- Replace hardcoded "http://localhost:8888/search" in _run_search_query() with f"{_SEARXNG_URL}/search"
- Guard _profile.name.split() against empty string in finetune_local.py OLLAMA_NAME
