[BUG] Broken web search default setting

#560
by pearsonkyle - opened

My assistants are now searching the web even though they have the default behavior (no web search).

It's strange because it only searches the web when I use the 2nd, 3rd and 4th example prompt. The first sample prompt is fine no web search. Every other input causes it to search the web.

Why is it suddenly searching the web?

I guess if it needs to be sure about something, it just looks it up

I hear lots of people complaining about this, why is it an issue?

(ive experienced it myself)

@ANIMDUDE it's an issue because I have specially curated information in the system prompt that gets ignored when it web searches. This behavior degrades the overall quality of the output by fluffing the context with irrelevant information and increases the response time thus contributing to a worse user experience.

possibly if you set it to specific domains, and put nothing, itll work?

Hi! This was an issue in our backend, should be fixed now! The default mode should not call websearch :)
