Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.9.5

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.24.0

Operating System

Ubuntu 25.10

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

OpenWebUI returns results from a web search.

Actual Behavior

OpenWebUI returns No sources found.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable Web Search.
  2. Setup Web Search (I use a local SEARXNG) but also tried other options.
  3. Type a prompt "list the top three news stories from today."
  4. OpenWebUI shows accessing external websites.
  5. OpenWebUI then returns No sources found.
  6. No valid results return--defaults to news based on the LLM model.

Logs & Screenshots

I don't know where the logs go in a doicker instance.
docker run -d -p 0.0.0.0:3030:8080 -e WEBUI_SECRET_KEY=zzz -e OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://192.168.2.80:11434 -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

Additional Information

This formerly worked prior to the 0.9.5 upgrade.

I found some existing issues that might be related. Please check if any of these are duplicates or contain helpful solutions:

  1. 🟣 #24875 bug: SafeWebBaseLoader._fetch raises TypeError on every URL, silently breaking all web search (v0.9.5)
    This matches the exact symptom in the new report: web search returns “No sources found” on v0.9.5 because the safe_web loader fails on every URL. The issue body identifies the same duplicate allow_redirects bug that silently causes all fetches to fail.

  2. 🟣 #24793 issue: Web search discards all results — duplicate allow_redirects keyword in SafeWebBaseLoader._fetch()
    Highly related because it describes the same v0.9.5 regression with SearXNG/web search where results are discarded after fetching. It specifically says the safe_web loader breaks and Open WebUI reports no results found, which aligns with the new issue.
    by web2bruno · bug

  3. 🟣 #24560 issue: SafeWebBaseLoader._fetch crashes with TypeError on duplicate allow_redirects kwarg, breaking all web search in v0.9.5
    This is the same underlying regression in v0.9.5, reproduced with web search enabled and the default safe_web loader. It documents the identical allow_redirects duplication causing every URL fetch to fail and web search to return no sources.
