chatgpt.com: Prompt Is this product a solid choice? https://cdon.no/bygg-verktoy/watch-repair-tool-demagnetization-instrument-mechanical-watch-demagnetizer-style-blue-home-eu-plug-p153957184

open-webui: Prompt Is this product a solid choice? https://cdon.no/bygg-verktoy/watch-repair-tool-demagnetization-instrument-mechanical-watch-demagnetizer-style-blue-home-eu-plug-p153957184

Describe the solution you'd like
ChatGPT will look up the URL provided and give feedback based on the specific product.

open-webui will say "generating search query" and then go onto search various sites, often not including the one specified, and give a very general answer not really related to the product I specifically linked to.

Is it possible to have open-webui look only at the supplied URL and generate a response based on its contents instead of attempting to create a generic search prompt with whatever default search engine configured in settings?

I do realize... now, that I can do #https://cdon.no/bygg-verktoy/watch-repair-tool-demagnetization-instrument-mechanical-watch-demagnetizer-style-blue-home-eu-plug-p153957184 ENTER then ask my question, but still, it would be more user friendly if open-webui could figure that out on its own

This exists via the AutoTool Filter function on openwebui.com

You need a capable model, but as long as you have a decent model it can automatically search the web when needed.
