integrated websearch fails with SSL error
It appears I am unable to access the Google PSE API due to an SSL requirement.
That’s literally what the model said. I am using an Ollama endpoint with several models (gpt-oss, mistral-small, qwen3, …)

I’ll take a look. Did you try with a different model, or use a different search. This usually means the LLM ask to fetch content of a non-secure link (http, not https)

I only have boltAIs google search integration available. I tried several models, and all seem to struggle in a way or another.
Interesting tho: I am (also) a 1.x user and the models seem to work quite well using the same provider.
I’ll happily share logs, given that you tell me how to retrieve those ^^

I’ll try to reproduce it first. Unfortunately I don’t have logging for the search plugin yet.
Anyway, I highly recommend switching to Brave instead. It has a very generous free tier while protecting your privacy. I recently learned that Google PSE tracks every query.
This is doc for v1 but it’s generally the same for v2

Unless I am mistaken. I can’t find how to get brave’s search API for free?
