:::tip ### Using LiteLLM for Search
LiteLLM's `/search` endpoint uses the Perplexity Search API style - you can customize the API endpoint of Open WebUI's perplexity_search web search to point to your LiteLLM instance and use that for web searches! You can use a [LiteLLM](https://docs.litellm.ai/) proxy instance as your search provider instead of connecting directly to Perplexity. LiteLLM's `/search` endpoint is compatible with the Perplexity Search API style used by Open WebUI.
::: To configure this:
1. Follow the setup steps above, selecting `perplexity_search` as the engine.
2. Under the **Perplexity Search API Base URL** field, replace the default URL with your LiteLLM endpoint.
3. The URL must follow this specific format: `http://<your-litellm-url>/search/<your-search-provider-name>` - Ensurethe search provider name matches the provider name you configured in your LiteLLM setup.
**Example:**
If your LiteLLM instance is running on localhost and you want to use the `perplexity-search` provider defined in your LiteLLM config:
```
http://localhost:4000/search/perplexity-search
```
