Problem Description
I have multiple ollama servers connecting to a OpenwebUi instance. One of those is a CPU only inference machine. For that specific model running on that inference machine, I want to disable users from accidently/purposely using websearch with it because doing so would effectively lock up my server for potentially over an hour since prompt processing is so slow on CPU.
Desired Solution you'd like
I'm requesting the ability to disable websearch per model on the admin side to prevent users from locking up my server due to 100% CPU usage.
