Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to give ollama an Internet access to search (for ex: using tor or duckduckgo or bing or google) for informations to give an answer to a user prompt.

OpenWebUI has this btw, but you could probably implement this as a tool

Search engines typically require an API key for programmatic searches, so the example below uses The Wikipedia API, but the same principles apply.

  Args:

  Returns:

Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist renowned for developing the theory of relativity.
He also made significant contributions to quantum mechanics and is perhaps best known for his
mass-energy equivalence formula, E = mc². This equation has become one of the most famous in
the world. For more details, you can visit the Wikipedia page on Albert Einstein.
