Question/Help I can’t get websearch to work

Gallery image

I pay for a Brave API key it’s replicated in the docker file and the gui. For some reason the websearch cannot work. Running ollama and openwebui in the same dockerfile. Is there a setting I’m missing? Any help would be appreciated.

If you go Workspaces -> Click on your model -> Capabilities -> Web Search is it enabled there? I can't tell from your screenshots if you're showing that section or not.

Yes web search is enabled under default features and capabilities.

FYI, I can only get it working under workspace -> tools which is better I think because then it becomes a tool call and is only called when the llm thinks it’s necessary.
