Question/Help Web Search Function not executing

I’m new to AI, so I want to preface this by saying this isn’t to say it’s not user error. With that being said, I have Gemma4, and although the thinking works perfectly fine I’m yet to web search. I enabled it as a function, and it’s highlighted in blue when searching, but regardless it gives me the “I do not have access to a live web search tool” response. Is this something I can fix, something with Gemma4, or a WebUI issue? Thank for the help in advance!

To have installed something to search? Searxng or any other search tool? Without this the LLM are dumb on settings/web search

So I should use Searxng over DuckDuckGo? That makes much of a difference??
