Its Reddit engine returns a community's landing page for any query at all — a question about ZFS
scrubs came back with Rocket League Esports and Dividend Investing, interleaved one in two, so
half of what reached the model was noise. Threads from that same engine are frequently the best
result there is, so the engine stays and only the URL shape goes: /r/<name> with nothing after it
is a front page by definition. That is a fact about the URL, not an opinion about how well it
matches, and this file does no similarity scoring of its own.
The operator already runs it, so this is the one provider that costs nothing to adopt: no key,
no card, no third party, and no new container. It aggregates several engines and returns them
merged, and its /api/search reply is already the shape everything downstream expects — title,
url, snippet, with content as a fallback for the roughly one result in six that has no snippet.
It is also now the only provider whose response has been read from a live service rather than
from documentation, which is why it is the default.
Search is the one capability that fits the profile holding none: every other capability either
reads this installation or changes it, and chat's whole contract is that it can do neither. The
assistant deliberately does not get it — its contract is that answers come from this install's
own documents, and a web result there is an answer that looks sourced and is not. A chat question
about this machine hands off to the assistant before the search would run, so it never reaches
the internet even with the box ticked.
Off by default, and not because it is dangerous: searching sends the operator's question outside
the house, which is theirs to decide. Asked for per turn as well as enabled in conf.
Provider-agnostic, as asked — searxng, brave, tavily. Only whichever is configured here can be
verified; all three read every field by name, so a shape that changes underneath yields no
results rather than wrong ones.
The explain fixtures asserted chat holds no capabilities at all, which is exactly the guarantee
worth keeping. caps=only: now states the set rather than its emptiness, so the check still fails
the day something else is granted there.
