Lets a model look things up while it answers. It is offered as a tool the model chooses to call, so nothing changes for a question that does not need it — and it is only offered to models marked as supporting tools, because sending a tool list to one that does not fails the whole request.

Who may use it is a permission — tools.web_search under Groups & permissions.

Provider

{% for provider in providers %} {% endfor %}

A ceiling — a model asking for more gets this.

wt-wt is no region at all. uk-en, de-de and so on bias results to a country.

SearXNG

Only used when SearXNG is the chosen provider. Your own instance, so no third party sees the queries.

A stock SearXNG refuses JSON. Add - json under search.formats in its settings.yml and restart it, or every search will fail with that message.

Saving links

Applies to the composer's Link option and to anything the model fetches: {{ brand.name }} retrieves the page and keeps its text.

Offers the fetch tool, so a model can read an address it found in a search result or was given. Turning this off leaves the composer's Link option working: that one is somebody's instruction, while this is the model choosing an address — possibly one it read in a page it had just fetched.

Off by default, and worth leaving off. This server can reach your router, your other services and {{ brand.name }} itself; the address to fetch can come from a model, which can be talked into things by a web page it just read. Turn this on only if you actually want to archive pages from your own network.

Firecrawl

Change only for a self-hosted Firecrawl.

Encrypted at rest. Clear the field to remove it.

Try it

Runs a real search against the saved settings, which is what a chat would do. Save first if you have just changed something.
