I tried it myself. It looks like this can do a lot more than open-webui's web search in terms of detail, which sounds useful, thanks for making it open source.
It seems to have a weird behavior of specifying a date when I didn't ask for it, is this expected? Also, I feel like searching "questions" is not optimal for most search engines, and it should instead search in terms of keywords.
Also, I wish there can be a more informative log at a slightly higher level - I don't need to see every request being made, but I do want to see a summary of what's happening at each step, like the prompt used, result, and the new search being done.
On another note, for local models, reasoning models have significant advantages over non-reasoning models. Can they be used for this?
Summarization quality depends on the question, of course mathematical or programming requests will benefit from reasoning models, but for some casual researches consisting of a few web-pages summarization is done ok even by mistral:7b, but as for the Detailed Report it would be better done by a reasoning model.
Thinking models... You can use them. In fact I started the project with them but not sure they help too much for this task. They definitely make it slower
