[Feat]: Internet Search Support

[sotwi]

Description
Allow the model access to query the web before answering.

Use Case
When running LLMs on phones we are oftentimes limited to small models. Granting them access to the internet is a good way of circumventing their limitations.

This is a great feature to have. Do you happen to know of a good, free search API? The ones I know like SerpAPI, aren’t free.

Open WebUI that I also use supports DuckDuckgo and Jina as free web search provider. Code is here if you want a look: https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui/tree/main/backend/open_webui/apps/retrieval/web

Alternatively, any chance it could support assimilating facts from Wikipedia ZIM backups as readable by https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android for fact checking (like say, important dates, which AI models can sometimes hallucinate, defeating the whole purpose)?
