Originally created by @timothycarambat on GitHub (Feb 17, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/746

What would you like to see?

As a user, if my prompt results in no contextual documents from my vector database I should be able to have the LLM then search the internet for possible results to my query using a traditional search engine.

This is an opt-in feature that can be configured at the system level and enabled per workspace. This feature can only be enabled by admins/managers.

Providers:

  • Default (web-scraper) - Subject to random failure, captchas, and other issues
  • Google SERP API (free for ~1K calls) - Requires API key setup but is totally free Reference
  • ????? (please leave comment if you see this issue to suggest provider)

better if the queries are encrypted/ chunked into smaller queries so as to maintain privacy.

This is a very useful feature, maybe it would be better to use the google search api, web scrapers might get out of control.
If live web-browsing is added, is it necessary to classify the user's questions and identify whether the user wants to call the knowledge base, perform a web search, or directly talk to llm?

The Hugging Face Chat UI allows web content with these methods: SERP API, SERPER API, SERPSTACK API, LOCAL WEBSEARCH, SEARXNG (this is the one I'm trying via https://search.ericdevelops.com), and YOU API.
