Installation Method

Docker compose installation using official image ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

Environment

  • Open WebUI Version: main
  • Ollama: Native installation on host system
  • Operating System: AlmaLinux
  • Browser: Firefox

Confirmation:

  • I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
  • I am on the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

Web search functionality should work with configured search backend (Bing).

Actual Behavior:

Web search returns empty content error:

[ERROR: The content provided is empty. Please ensure that there is text or data present before proceeding.]

Description

Bug Summary:
Web search functionality fails with empty content error when using Bing as search backend. The error occurs consistently across different search queries.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Configure OpenWebUI with Bing search backend in docker-compose.yml
  2. Start containers using docker-compose up -d
  3. Access web interface and attempt any web search
  4. Observe empty content error in UI and logs

Logs and Screenshots

Additional Information

  • Using docker-compose with PostgreSQL database
  • Database tables are properly created and accessible
  • Basic chat functionality with Ollama works correctly
  • Ollama ist installed nativly directly on the server
  • Only web search functionality is affected
  • Tried with different search backends (DuckDuckGo, Bing) with same result
  • Test OpenWebui on my workstation with the Bing credentials that works fine. I asume there is a configuration issue with my docker network or config

I have configured the websearch inside the gui and not over the compose file
