Check Existing Issues

I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.18

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

AWS linux

Browser (if applicable)

No response

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

When Serply is set as web search provider and a valid API key is provided, it should function with the web search tool.

Actual Behavior

Serply integration is broken

search_serply positional args are here
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/main/backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/serply.py#L13-L22

when args are passed to the function here as part of web_search
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/main/backend/open_webui/routers/retrieval.py#L1782-L1788

the 4th param passed is the domain filter list, and it is expected to be the "hl" param.

Steps to Reproduce

Set Serply as web provider, set Serply API key, try to use as Web Search tool in LLM chat

Logs & Screenshots

https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/blob/main/backend/open_webui/retrieval/web/serply.py#L40

error originates when "lower()" is called on the list of domains to filter
