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
The web_search tool returns the specified number of search (count field) results when invoked.
Actual Behavior
Always return default number of results which was set in the admin panel
Steps to Reproduce
Just let the model call web_search
Logs & Screenshots
Additional Information
At least works properly in v0.8.1

Brave, but it's not caused by provider side. When I change the setting=>web search->search result count in the settings, it will also changes. However the LLM can no longer control the result count.

seems to be provider dependent, cannot reproduce.
