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.

Docker
Open WebUI Version
v0.8.10

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
Web search should get results from searxng and then use playwright as web loader.
Actual Behavior
Searxng is working, urls and snippets are being received but playwright is not being used at all.
It used to work on previous versions with this same config.
Steps to Reproduce
See screenshot.
Playwright version 1.58.2 (but it doesn't matter as playwright endpoint isn't used at all, it is the same if it is running or not)

I'm sorry. My fault. Adding "fetch urls returned on web results" on system/user prompt did the trick.
