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

v0.8.10

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Kubernetes

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

When using agentic web search content is automatically truncated to 50K characters to prevent context window overload. However, with the ability to use models which have context windows as large as 1 million tokens we should have the ability to set this value higher and/or disable the truncation all together.

Actual Behavior

The tool has hard-coded a fetch limit of 50K characters.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use agentic web-search with your prompt
  2. Any fetch results is truncated to 50K characters.

Danger of this ...
A simple LinkedIn webpage can be 20K+ characters. There is large potential for actual context to be lost and with the availability of models with 1 million token context windows we should have the option to include more data from the request.

Logs & Screenshots

None
