How to setup corpus collection if not using the data collected:

1. Set-up SearchX backend, instructions can be found here: https://github.com/searchx-framework/searchx-backend
2. Add a BingApi key to the .env file that you created in the previous step as follows: BING_ACCESS_KEY=<your_api_Key>. This is required because the vertical selection relies on the BingApi to retrieve results.
