Reasoning content IS sent back to the API across turns, not stripped. Updated the Chat History note, Important Notes section, and FAQ to accurately reflect that Open WebUI serializes reasoning with original tags and includes it in assistant messages for subsequent requests.
The agentic search setup guide omits that Web Search must be enabled
under Default Features in the model settings. Without this, the
search_web and fetch_url tools are not injected in Native Mode, even
when the Web Search capability and Builtin Tools are both enabled.
This was confirmed as the root cause of non-functional agentic search
in v0.8.7 and relates to the behavioral change introduced in commits
c46ef3b and f1a1e64 (open-webui/open-webui#20641).
