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 should only be executed when the integration is selected in chat or if it is selected as a default Feature for the model.

Actual Behavior

Web search only works if Builtin Tools is also selected for the model.
Also when Builtin Tools is selected Search can't be toggled off in the interface without turning off Builtin Tools.

Steps to Reproduce

Change the capabilities of the model to:
Web search ✅
Builtin Tools ✅
Search will work even without being enabled in chat, because of "Builtin Tools"

Change the capabilities of the model to:
Web search ✅
Builtin Tools ❌
Search will never work, even with being enabled in chat.

I'm fine with builtin tools like timestamps and memory.
But I'd like to see separate toggles for searching:
Web,
Chat history,
Knowledge base,
Notes

Randomly starting a search in chat history or knowledge base can be very useless.
Also in some chats information absolutely needs to stay offline.
If I can't control the online search I need to disable it to prevent information from leaking.
