/// This helper function fetches/requests the json search results from the upstream search engine as a vector of bytes.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `url` - It takes the url of the upstream search engine with the user requested search
/// query appended in the search parameters.
/// * `header_map` - It takes the http request headers to be sent to the upstream engine in
/// order to prevent being detected as a bot. It takes the header as a HeaderMap type.
/// * `request_timeout` - It takes the request timeout value as seconds which is used to limit
/// the amount of time for each request to remain connected when until the results can be provided
/// by the upstream engine.
///
/// # Error
///
/// It returns the html data as a vector of bytes if the upstream engine provides the data as expected
/// otherwise it returns a custom `EngineError`.

/// This function scrapes results from the upstream engine and puts all the scraped results like
/// title, visiting_url (href in html),engine (from which engine it was fetched from) and description
/// in a RawSearchResult and then adds that to HashMap whose keys are url and values are RawSearchResult
