Bug Report

Installation Method

Installed using Docker and stand alone

Environment

Open WebUI Version: v0.5.4
Ollama (if applicable): n.a
Operating System: macOS Sequoia
Browser (if applicable): n.a

Confirmation:

I have read and followed all the instructions provided in the README.md.
I am on 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 the exact steps to reproduce the bug in the "Steps to Reproduce" section below.

Expected Behavior:

The UI should show the number of configured sites that has been searched, not always 10.

The Reason is the wrong config of the Bing parameters in the Python backend (bing.py):

params = {"q": query, "mkt": mkt, "answerCount": count}

Fix:

params = {"q": query, "mkt": mkt, "count": count, "responseFilter": "Webpages"}

Actual Behavior:

It shows 10 (the default) number of sites searched, because "count" defaults to 10. The actual number of sites scraped is correct.

Description

Bug Summary:
The wring number if sites searched are displayed when using Bing search.

Reproduction Details

Steps to Reproduce:
Enable Bing search and use it in a conversation. It will always show 10 (although the actual number of searched sites is lower).

Logs and Screenshots

Browser Console Logs:
n.a

Docker Container Logs:
n.a
