Description
Added SearchApi Google Search Api as an option for web search alternatives. Based on our customer requests we are raising the PR to add SearchAPI as an option. We are ready to invest time in adding open-source integrations. This can be a great addition to the Open WebUI web search. I have opened the docs PR too. Please feel free to mention @raju249 and @SebastjanPrachovskij for any future reviews for PR related to SearchApi. We would be happy to help.
The end user can change the search engine used on the SearchApi side via the SEARCHAPI_ENGINE parameter. Organic results share the same structure across all existing and upcoming SERP engines, so we will always have a title, snippet, and link. Google, Bing, Baidu, Google News, Bing News, Google Videos, Google Scholar, and Google Patents are already supported. Yandex and Yahoo are coming soon as well.
Added
Added SEARCHAPI_API_KEY API key to the config.
Added SEARCHAPI_ENGINE key to the config to change engine based on user preferences.
Added searchapi as an option for webSearchEngines.
Added backend/apps/rag/search/searchapi.py which is the main function for calling SearchApi Google Search Api by default if SEARCHAPI_ENGINE is not present from the config.
Builds the query payload with api_key and query parameter.
Updated config to set SEARCHAPI_API_KEY in the config.
Added Search Api test data.
Changed
Updated README.md to include SearchApi.io as an option for Web Search.
