I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.
Installation Method
Docker
Open WebUI Version
v0.6.34
Ollama Version (if applicable)
v0.12.5
Operating System
Debian 13
Browser (if applicable)
Arc
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
When running hybrid search, results are sorted through reranker.
Actual Behavior
Reranker is ignored.
Logs state error 405 method not allowed.
No config changes were made with this functioning in 0.6.32.
Steps to Reproduce
Configure v0.6.34 with hybrid search using bundled ollama with default config.
Using open-webui/open-webui:ollama image.

Problem wasn't evident initially when upgrading to v0.6.34 (may or may have been present), but was definitely noticeable when resetting and reindexing knowledgebase. There were no issues connecting to the embedded model with the same ollama instance.
