    Search a SearXNG instance for a given query and return the results as a list of SearchResult objects.

    The function allows passing additional parameters such as language or time_range to tailor the search result.

    Args:
        query_url (str): The base URL of the SearXNG server.
        query (str): The search term or question to find in the SearXNG database.
        count (int): The maximum number of results to retrieve from the search.

    Keyword Args:
        language (str): Language filter for the search results; e.g., "all", "en-US", "es". Defaults to "all".
        safesearch (int): Safe search filter for safer web results; 0 = off, 1 = moderate, 2 = strict. Defaults to 1 (moderate).
        time_range (str): Time range for filtering results by date; e.g., "2023-04-05..today" or "all-time". Defaults to ''.
        categories: (Optional[list[str]]): Specific categories within which the search should be performed, defaulting to an empty string if not provided.

    Returns:
        list[SearchResult]: A list of SearchResults sorted by relevance score in descending order.

    Raise:
        requests.exceptions.RequestException: If a request error occurs during the search process.
