Hello,

i've noticed that there isnt any values for setting the web search engine, and setting them in the extraEnvVars and commonEnvVars isn't taking any effect. Is there any solution for it? or am i doing something wrong?

Sincerely

Hey!

Everything in OpenWebui is set using environment variables, if the variable is not taking effect when enabling it with extraEnvVars it should be an OpenWebui behavior as this chart always injects configuration values into container environment.

Can you double check you used the good env variables (https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/env-configuration/#web-search) and if the problem persist can you give a complete example so it is possible to reproduce it ?

You should also take a look at this: https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/env-configuration/#important-note-on-persistentconfig-environment-variables
