Web search option is not working properly.

I also have this issue. These URLs worked yesterday, they do not work today. One url is a github.io the other is an aws link; it's not github or amazon's fault.

I've been investigating a bit. This feature was working yesterday, but today it's broken.
If you go here:
https://github.com/huggingface/chat-ui/tree/main/src/lib/server/websearch

You'll see that an update was pushed yesterday #996. I don't find this to be a coincidence. I don't know much about playwright or anything, but from my search it seems the error is probably in one of these files:

I'll keep digging, but I don't have the know-how to fix this, really. But hopefully narrowing it down to yesterday's update and these files helps whoever actually can. I don't think it's the timeout, since the "failed" message pops up instantly when you start a new chat and send a message.

There was an issue with the playwright dependency after #996 which should have been resolved after #1161. If you're not running on docker, you may need to run npx playwright install

Thanks for the replies/eyeballs on this one - I'm not running it locally or anything (no idea about the guy who made the issue); it's just huggingface.co/chat with an assistant. In my case, the assistant has a couple links it can look at, it seems the original poster's problem is with web search. Actually, if you pick any assistant on the list with any sort of web access, you get the same error, like this random one: https://huggingface.co/chat/conversation/6650d49e2682ff777fcefe93
