Changelog Entry

Description

Adds Perplexity as a new web search option for the retrieval system in OpenWebUI, addressing the feature request discussed in #9046. Users can now leverage Perplexity's AI-powered search capabilities to enhance their retrieval-augmented generation workflows.

Added

  • Added search_perplexity function to integrate with Perplexity's API
  • Support for Perplexity API authentication via API key
  • Citation extraction from Perplexity search results
  • Proper error handling for Perplexity API requests
  • Integration with existing filter functionality for search results

Changed

  • Extended web search options to include Perplexity as a provider

Deprecated

  • None

Removed

  • None

Fixed

  • None

Security

  • None

Breaking Changes

  • None

Additional Information

  • This feature requires users to provide their own Perplexity API key
  • The implementation uses Perplexity's "sonar" model by default with a low temperature setting (0.2) to provide factual information, future work can consider having the option to select models at their choices
  • Search results include properly formatted citations from the Perplexity API response
  • The implementation follows the same pattern as other web search providers in the codebase
  • Consider customizing/optimizing chat model result using perplexity web search without RAG pipeline
