How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I am using Linux desktop app. i enabled web search with duckduckgo, then entered few questions to try like "@agent what is the date today", "@agent what is the most popular movie of bollywood in 2026" etc. but i see some requests to google.com, why? is this some bug or intentional something?

Are there known steps to reproduce?

I have ALLM Desktop v1.11.2 on Windows 11, I set up DuckDuckGo as the web search agent for my workspace, and it works correctly for me.

@CreativeCoder0 Which version of ALLM are you using?

If you are using an older version of ALLM please update it.

i installed it within 2-3 days. i can see request to duckduckgo and that is fine. but why there are requests to "www.google.com" if it is using duckduckgo?

It should say in the UI if it is using the web-scraper or the web-search. Depending on the quant/size of your LLM it very well may be trying to scrape google.com/search?q=What is the date instead of just using web-search... which is a funny behavior.

Turn off web-scrape temporarily and then try your prompt, the model will have no choice but to call web-search
