Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.41

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Windows 11 Version 25H2 (Build 26200.7309)

Browser (if applicable)

Microsoft Edge 142.0.3595.94

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using 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 every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

Web Search (Bocha): When using bocha as the search engine, it should correctly parse the JSON response and return search results without crashing.

Actual Behavior

When using bocha as the Web Search Engine, the retrieval process crashes with an AttributeError. The logs indicate that the application is receiving a dictionary response from the Bocha API (containing a "webpage" key) but is iterating over the dictionary keys (specifically the string "webpage") instead of the list of results inside it. This causes get_filtered_results to fail when it tries to call .get() on a string.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to Settings -> Web Search.
  2. Set Search Engine to bocha and provide a valid API key
  3. In a chat, ask a question that triggers a web search (e.g., "Weather in Changchun")
  4. Observe the error in the UI ("An error occurred while searching the web").

Logs & Screenshots

File "/app/backend/open_webui/routers/retrieval.py", line 1881, in search_web
    return search_bocha( ... )
File "/app/backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/bocha.py", line 58, in search_bocha
    results = get_filtered_results(results, filter_list)
File "/app/backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/main.py", line 19, in get_filtered_results
    url = result.get("url") or result.get("link", "") or result.get("href", "")
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

1Panel-ollama-webui-9dLT-20251204124325.log

Additional Information

Based on the logs, the data passed to get_filtered_results is: {'webpage': [{'id': '...', 'name': '...', ...}]} The code seems to need to extract results['webpage'] before passing it to get_filtered_results in bocha.py.

What kind of tests are needed? I think I can handle them.

@Sorkai you reported the issue

Someone else should independently test, if your report is reproducible. If it is it can be fixed

I also encountered this bug, which can be reproduced when the domain filter list is set to non-empty. I submitted a PR to fix it.
