Add Browser Use Cloud API Search and Ask Feature

Summary

This PR implements a new "Search and Ask" feature that integrates the Browser Use Cloud API into the reflex-web application. The feature adds a "Web Search" button to the navigation bar that opens a search dialog, allowing users to search the web or extract content from URLs using the Browser Use Cloud API endpoints (/simple-search and /search-url).

Key Components Added:

  • API Wrapper: Complete Python client for Browser Use Cloud API with async HTTP calls and error handling
  • Search Dialog UI: Modal dialog with search input, results display, and loading states
  • Ask AI Interface: Placeholder chat interface for follow-up questions on search results
  • State Management: Reflex state management for search queries, results, errors, and UI state
  • Navbar Integration: "Web Search" button alongside existing Typesense search functionality

The implementation follows existing patterns from the Typesense search component and uses the BROWSER_USE_API_KEY environment variable for API authentication.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

  • Test with Real API Key: Set up actual BROWSER_USE_API_KEY and verify search functionality works with real API responses (this is critical - current testing only validated error handling with 401 responses)
  • Review Ask AI Placeholder: The "Ask AI" functionality currently returns placeholder responses - decide whether to enhance with real AI integration or remove this feature
  • Test Error Scenarios: Verify handling of network timeouts, rate limiting, malformed API responses, and quota exceeded scenarios
  • UI/UX Integration Review: Ensure the new Web Search dialog doesn't conflict with existing Typesense search and fits the design system
  • Environment Configuration: Verify BROWSER_USE_API_KEY setup works correctly in different deployment environments

Recommended Test Plan:

  1. Set real Browser Use API key and test successful search queries
  2. Test URL extraction using /search-url endpoint
  3. Verify error states display properly (network errors, API errors)
  4. Test modal opening/closing and state transitions
  5. Verify search results display correctly and navigation works

Notes

  • Environment Variable: Requires BROWSER_USE_API_KEY to be set for API authentication
  • API Endpoints: Supports both /simple-search (general queries) and /search-url (URL content extraction)
  • Placeholder AI: The "Ask AI" feature is currently a placeholder and may need real AI integration or removal
  • Testing Limitation: Only tested with placeholder API key (401 responses) - real API testing needed
  • UI Pattern: Follows existing dialog patterns from Typesense search for consistency

Greptile Summary

This PR implements a comprehensive web search feature by integrating the Browser Use Cloud API into the reflex-web application. The implementation adds a new "Web Search" button to the navbar that opens a modal dialog, allowing users to perform web searches and extract content from URLs using two API endpoints (/simple-search and /search-url).

The changes include three main files:

  1. pcweb/components/docpage/navbar/browser_use.py (new file): Contains the complete implementation including:

    • BrowserUseSearchState class that manages API calls, search results, and UI state
    • Async HTTP client methods for interacting with the Browser Use Cloud API
    • Modal dialog UI components for search input, results display, and loading states
    • Placeholder "Ask AI" chat interface for follow-up questions
    • Error handling for various API failure scenarios
  2. pcweb/components/docpage/navbar/navbar.py (modified): Simple integration that imports the new browser_use_search component and adds it to the navigation menu alongside existing search functionality.

  3. pcweb/whitelist.py (modified): Code cleanup that removes commented-out entries from the WHITELISTED_PAGES list without affecting functionality.

The implementation follows existing patterns from the Typesense search component, uses the BROWSER_USE_API_KEY environment variable for authentication, and maintains UI consistency with the current design system. The feature is designed to complement rather than replace the existing documentation search functionality.

Confidence score: 2/5

  • This PR introduces significant functionality but has several production-readiness concerns that need attention before merging.
  • The score reflects issues with placeholder AI functionality, hardcoded configurations, external API dependencies, and incomplete testing with real API responses.
  • Files needing more attention: pcweb/components/docpage/navbar/browser_use.py requires the most scrutiny due to API integration complexity and placeholder features.
