Changelog Entry

Description

  • Adds LiteLLM WEB SEARCH to Open WebUI
  • Conditionally forwards user headers like email and so forth if globally enabled using the env var - this is the only provider that has this now - because LiteLLM SUPPORTS COST TRACKING for Web Search requests - to be able to track the costs, you need to give LiteLLM the Open WebUI user information of course.
