Is there a way to get Kobold's WebSearch feature to work in Brave's Leo?

I've been playing around with Leo in the Brave browser ever since I learned that it had a feature called "Bring Your Own Model". With this feature, you can connect Brave's Leo assistant to any AI endpoint, such as ChatGPT, OpenRouter, or KoboldCPP), and it will use your model of choice. I was able to get it working with basic functionality, but for whatever reason I can't get Kobold to do web searches through Leo. Web searches work just fine on the KoboldCPP web UI.

Is there a prompt I need to feed into Leo to get web searches to work?

Does Leo actually work with websearch? I'm not too familiar with it. The websearch capability should be provided by the UI itself I would imagine. Kobold's own web ui uses its own duck duck go searching integration, that won't apply to leo.

Yeah, it has the ability to search the web if you select one of its smarter models. It functions very similarly to Google's AI Mode.

It would be awesome if it was possible to pass through a web search request from Leo to KoboldCPP, but I don't know if that's something that would be implemented on Kobold's end or on Brave's end.

According to this page Leo uses Brave search automatically and sends the information to the model through the prompt. Have you tried connecting it to KoboldCpp directly through Kobold's OpenAI endpoint?
