What is in this change?

Hello,
I've downloaded AnythingLLM Desktop on my Windows PC and have been enjoying the experience, albeit with minor bumps like unable to configure LLM model download directory, etc. I did notice an error in its agent setup interface though. Since google search was only free for 100 queries and I wasn't comfortable relying on duckduckgo for search quality, I thought bing search was a good alternative with 1000 queries for free per anythingllm interface text. However I must have been too late for the party because when I signed up for azure and went to create BingSearchv7 it got me this error:
{
"status": "Failed",
"error": {
"code": "ApiSetDisabledForCreation",
"message": "Deployment of new Bing resources is unavailable. If you want to leverage search results with LLMs, refer to the new Grounding with Bing Search product. You can learn more at aka.ms/AgentsBingDoc. For additional questions, please contact BingAPIMS@Microsoft.com."
}
}
Which got me puzzled and when I searched further I found these:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2153438/couldnt-create-bing-search-api-resource
"Thanks for reaching out. We are evaluating our sign-up process for Bing APIs. New customers who do not have a Bing resource on their subscriptions, will be unable to add a Bing resource.

Retirement: Bing Search APIs with Your LLM on March 6, 2025
Bing Search
RETIREMENT
March 2025

Apparently Microsoft pulled the plug on the service I suppose. The alternative "Grounding with Bing Search" product only has one pricing available--Grounding with Bing Search ($35 per 1K transactions)-- so I just switched to google with 100 queries/day for now.

Nothing wrong on AnythingLLM development in this regard, I just wanted to update the situation and anythingllm interface text to reflect current situation so I made this pull request.
Please feel free to edit the text further if my writing is unclear or even eliminate bing search option from anythingllm entirely.
Thanks.
