Bug Report

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: [v.0.4.6]

Expected Behavior:

When making a Web Search query, the feature should consistently provide accurate responses without interruptions

Actual Behavior:

The feature occasionally and unpredictably responds with: "I'm sorry, I cannot search the web in real time," despite successfully providing a response to the previous query.

Description

Bug Summary:

The web search functionality is unstable, At random, it provides an unexpected response indicating it cannot perform real-time web searches, even though it was functioning moments earlier, this behavior occurs inconsistently and is not tied to any specific query.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

Ask several consecutive questions that require a Web Search.

Additional Information

  • Tested with two search engines, DuckDuckGo and Bing Search; the inconsistent behavior occurs on both.
  • The issue seems unrelated to specific queries and appears to happen randomly.
