I have searched for all existing open AND closed issues and discussions for similar requests. I have found none that is comparable to my request.
Verify Feature Scope
I have read through and understood the scope definition for feature requests in the Issues section. I believe my feature request meets the definition and belongs in the Issues section instead of the Discussions.
Problem Description
When using web search I often encounter results that I would love to add to the Knowledge base. Currently I click on the "X sources" chit, click on the specific source, copy out the URL, go to my knowledge base, and add it as a URL. It would great if there was a low friction way to do that.
Desired Solution you'd like
I would love to see a widget added to the view that appears after clicking on a source. This widget would allow one in a small number (1?) of clicks to add the displayed URL and its content to the knowledge base.

One click to save all source URLs to your chosen Knowledge Base
Supports duplicate detection, batch processing, and configurable defaults
Quick setup:
Install the function from the community site (or copy the code)
Enable it on your preferred models (enabling it globally works too)
When you see web search citations, click the folder+ icon → type your KB → confirm → done!
Power user tip:
Set a default Knowledge Base in your UserValves and enable skip_confirmation for instant one-click saving.
Hope this helps until/if a native solution gets added! Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂

Hey @na-g! 👋
I saw your feature request and built an **Action Function** that implements this workflow. It's now available on the Open WebUI community site:
**[Add Sources to Knowledge Action](https://openwebui.com/posts/65d97417-d079-4720-b2cc-a63dd59b7e3e)**
### What it does:
- Adds a button to messages with web search sources
- One click to save all source URLs to your chosen Knowledge Base
- Supports duplicate detection, batch processing, and configurable defaults
### Quick setup:
1. Install the function from the community site (or copy the code)
2. Enable it on your preferred models (enabling it globally works too)
3. When you see web search citations, click the folder+ icon → type your KB → confirm → done!
### Power user tip:
Set a default Knowledge Base in your UserValves and enable `skip_confirmation` for instant one-click saving.
Hope this helps until/if a native solution gets added! Let me know if you run into any issues. 🙂
