Description

Adds the ability to perform web searches via the RAG API (rag/api/v1/websearch) using the following search providers:

  1. SearXNG, configured with SEARXNG_QUERY_URL, eg SEARXNG_QUERY_URL=https://search.projectsegfau.lt/search?q=<query>
  2. Google Programmatic Search Engine, configured with GOOGLE_PSE_API_KEY and GOOGLE_PSE_ENGINE_ID
  3. Brave Search, configured with BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY
  4. serpstack - Google proxy, configured with SERPSTACK_API_KEY (and an optional SERPSTACK_HTTPS=false, since the free tier doesn't allow for HTTPS connections)
  5. serper - Google proxy, configured with SERPER_API_KEY.

Users can configure how many of the top search results to crawl with RAG_WEB_SEARCH_RESULT_COUNT, and RAG_WEB_SEARCH_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS controls the number of concurrent requests made to crawl the search results.

Users can toggle web search on or off on the UI, which causes the frontend to use a prompt to generate a search query, calling the RAG API to search for that query, and then injecting the results of that as a RAG document.

Implements #586

Changelog Entry

Added

  • 🔍Web Search for RAG: You can now perform web searches when chatting using providers like SearXNG, Google PSE, Brave Search, serpstack, and serper.
