Problem Description

Currently, users can configure the RAG_WEB_SEARCH_ENGINE (e.g., DuckDuckGo, Google) directly from the Open WebUI frontend settings. However, the related configuration RAG_WEB_LOADER_ENGINE, which controls the method used to fetch and parse web page content for RAG, appears to only be configurable via environment variables or backend configuration (on latest main branch). This makes it less convenient to switch or experiment with different loading mechanisms compared to the search engine setting.

Desired Solution you'd like

I propose adding a setting in the Open WebUI frontend (perhaps in the "Settings" -> "Web Search" section, near the Web Search Engine selector) that allows users to select the desired RAG_WEB_LOADER_ENGINE. This could be a dropdown menu listing the available loader engines supported by the backend.
