Just set up SearXNG locally if you want a free/local web search MCP: https://gist.github.com/tripplyons/a2f9d8bd553802f9296a7ec3b...

I haven't tried SearXNG personally. How does it compare to Ollama's web search in terms of the search content returned?

That's what i have together with open webui and gpt-oss-120b. it works reasonably well. But sometimes the searches are slow.
Dead on arrival. Thanks for playing, Ollama, but you've already done the leg work in obsoleting yourself.
I had no idea they had their own cloud offering, I thought the whole point of Ollama was local models? Why would I pay $20/month to use small inferior models instead of using one of the usual AI companies like OpenAI or even Mistral? I'm not going to make an account to use models on my own computer.

You can try removing search engines that fail or reducing their timeout setting to something faster than the default of a few seconds.

Do they pull their own index like brave or are they using Bing/Google in the background?

Fair question. Some of the supported models are large and wouldn't fit on most local devices. This is just the beginning, and Ollama does not need to exclude cloud hosted frontier models either with the relationship we've built with the model providers. We just have to be mindful and understand that Ollama stands with developers, and solve the needs. https://ollama.com/cloud
Why would I use those models on your cloud instead of using Google's or Anthropic's models? I'm glad there are open models available and that they get better and better, but if I'm paying money to use a cloud API I might as well use the best commercial models, I think they will remain much better than the open alternatives for quite some time.
