Changelog Entry
Description
Added an option BYPASS_WEB_SEARCH_RESULT_LINK_SCRAPE, which is reflected in the web search page under admin/settings.
This option is disabled by default. When enabled, openwebui's built-in web search will use the search engine's snippet as page content, bypassing URL scraping.
This approach helps save time and resources, addresses the frequent HTTP ERROR issues with the built-in web search functionality of openwebui, and leverages high-quality scraping results from certain search engines optimized for LLMs (such as Jina and Tavily), which may yield better results than our own scraping efforts.
Added
An option BYPASS_WEB_SEARCH_RESULT_LINK_SCRAPE. When enabled, use the search engine's snippet as page content, bypassing URL scraping.
Additional Information
It is worth mentioning that the current built-in Tavily search support does not require Tavily to provide full page content. I plan to submit a separate small PR to add this functionality.
For the issue related to this PR, see #11505, and for the discussion, see #11543.
