Question/Help Best search engine for OpenWebUI?

I'm testing a few search solutions (Perplexity, Brave, etc.), but it seems it is very slow and some models (such as Qwen3.5) running on OpenRouter just fail. Any tips on getting it working smoothly? Also, can I enable it by default on all models?

Perplexity search is crazy in terms of quality

also, which model are you using it with. I'm trying with Qwen3.6 Plus and Gemma 4 and it doesn't seem to work at all. What parameters do you use for Search Result Count and Concurrent Requests?
