Notes

This route proxies to the internal /api/simple-search handler.
It returns search results quickly and does not add contexts via deep retrieval.
Successful requests cost $0.01 each and are recorded with internal model name websearch.
PipeLLM derives the model name from the route; clients do not send it.

Deep Search

Use retrieval and reranking when you need richer context

News Search

Search recent news articles instead of general web results
