  The runQuery function handles the client-side interaction for sending queries to the search endpoint via SSE. While not explicitly named 'search_content', it is the core handler for processing the search request and displaying the streaming response in the chat widget.

  function runQuery(query, cfg, bodyId, inputId, sendId) {
    var body = document.getElementById(bodyId);
    var sendBtn = document.getElementById(sendId);
    var input = document.getElementById(inputId);

        loadingRemoved = true;
      }
