Problem Description

Can we introduce a way to tune the websearch prompt?

For some specific searches the prompt generation is so vague that the results are nonsense.

Example searching for a person or a generic non well known company name if is associated to a person the prompt results in vague stuff

open-webui  | 2025-08-07 00:52:12.277 | INFO     | open_webui.routers.retrieval:process_web_search:1914 - trying to web search with ('searxng', ['Santiago Berhardt Ltd company information', 'Santiago Berhardt Ltd news', 'Santiago Berhardt Ltd financials'])

why did it add the financials? why assumes is a ltd company, etc.

Desired Solution you'd like

it would be nice to explicitly pass the search query in the prompt for example

prompt example:
based on the results of "query here" tell me blah blah

Or per mode instructions for websearch or anything really

Alternatives Considered

not use websearch for complex searches.

By default, **prioritize generating 1-3 broad and relevant search queries**

Broad and relevant never go together I reckon.
