Feature Request: RAG-Powered Web and File Search and Other Tools

I really enjoy the convenience that Ollama provides when running locally 👍 However, some tools don’t directly integrate with the current library.

It would be amazing if RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) features could be added for both web search and local file search. This would make the experience far more powerful and still easy to use.

  • Searching across local files and generating contextual answers
  • Pulling in up-to-date information from the web to enrich responses
# Local file search
answer = ollama.rag_search(
    query="Explain the architecture diagram",
    sources=["/documents/project/*.pdf"]
)
print(answer)

# Web search
answer = ollama.rag_search(
    query="What’s new in Python 3.13?",
    sources=["web"]
)
print(answer)

This is the same issue I've opened a couple of days ago.

I've built a bit more than a wrapper in the meantime, link is available in my original issue

Not the same issue. You are looking for MCP setup with the structured output feature.

Im searching RAG and other tools.

@HamzaYslmn file search is a bit harder to do as a "primitive" since there are quite a few steps to it. We might have some simpler ones soon but not planning to do that.

At least if it could read basic things like PDFs, that would be sufficient. Do OCR, vectorize the text like on the web etc
