I can confirm that SearXNG is up and running in another container, exposing a port on the host machine.
and I can access the SearXNG website and search functionality via http://localhost:4000.
However, when accessing through the open webui (running within a Docker container) with the web searching set to http://host.docker.internal:4000/search?q=<query>, I still encounter an 'error searching...' issue message.

Hi, I've also been trying to get the web search working for several days. Up now, I tried:
- Google PSE
- Brave API
- DuckDuckGo
I also tested searXNG, running in the same server and started by:
~~~
docker run --rm -d -p 8888:8080 \
-v "/usr/local/searxng-config:/etc/searxng" \
-e "BASE_URL=http://localhost:8888/" \
-e "INSTANCE_NAME=searxng" \
searxng/searxng
~~~
` curl "https://search.nube-gran.de/search?q=test&format=json"` on the same server gives:
`{"query": "test", "number_of_results": 0, "results": [{"url": "https://www.speedtest.net/", "title": "Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test", "content": "Back to test results.

I.e., JSON results do work.
my docker command for starting the WebUI is:
~~~
docker run -d \
-p 3000:8080 \
-v ollama:/root/.ollama \
-e ENABLE_RAG_WEB_SEARCH=True \
-e RAG_WEB_SEARCH_ENGINE="searxng" \

@s-konnex-engine commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2025):
I hope this can be helpful to some. I was having this same issue when i first tried on 0.5.10.
I hadn't configured for json and after configuring for json i was still having the issue. also i hadn't set host to host.docker.internal either. but even after this i was still having the issue.
I may have restarted a couple of times or maybe only once afrter having configuration correct. However i can confirm that after getting configuration correct and restarting ALL containers (open-webui, ollama and searxng and all it's containers. my ollama is in separate container) and clearing browser cache, this problem that plagued me for hours was now gone.
There are many moving parts here and i don't know exactly what ws causing the issue once i had configured correctly but the issue persisted and this is how i ended up resolving it.
I'm about to update to .12 now. if anything changes i'll update here. I'm confident it'll be fine tho.

same here.
I can confirm that SearXNG is up and running in another container, exposing a port on the host machine.
and I can access the SearXNG website and search functionality via
http://localhost:4000.However, when accessing through the open webui (running within a Docker container) with the web searching set to
http://host.docker.internal:4000/search?q=<query>, I still encounter an 'error searching...' issue message.@sumanth1989 commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2025):
@jerell2isekai Have you enabled json as a format in your Searxng config. Its set in the settings.yml file in your searxng installation ?
@EntropyYue commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2025):
Below is the error message from Searxing
@jerell2isekai commented on GitHub (Feb 15, 2025):
Yes.

Hi, I've also been trying to get the web search working for several days. Up now, I tried:

Ollama Version 0.5.7
I think the results have not been handled correctly since the search string was created. Would it be possible to make the process more verbose? However, I have no experience with RAG workflows, etc.
¿Any idea how we can track down and solve the issue?
