I've been toying with Perplexica over the last few weeks occasionally, it feels really restrictive.

I've had to modify the internal prompts to make it generate better search terms with my SearxNG (And depending on what LLM model you use, you need to fine tune this.....) and having to rebuild the container image to do this has just been annoying. Overall, I've had experience with self-hosted LLM web searches on Open-webui, but perplexica is a fun project to try out nevertheless.

Yes, all the models behave differently, and the smarter one is not necessary for better. I want to finetune summarisation prompts, the Perplexica result can be better, The idea to improve search request is very good, will try it too. Thanks Zutto
