This would be nice because I am often having to toggle it on for every chat in new tabs or if i refresh the page. Having an env variable to just default it to on would be super nice!

Some sort of "smart mode" would also be nice where the model can decide whether or not it should even show the search dialog or attempt a search.

I noticed that if the toggle is on the model wont search things that dont need to be, which is good, but the searching dialog still comes up regardless.

Smart mode can be achieved by using a search tool from the website along with an auto-tool filter... although I have no idea if auto-tool filters are working at the moment (they kept breaking on me). What I would love, similar to this, is a toggle on a model to have function toolkits turned on by default.
