Me too. I do eventually get a reply but it's extremely slow.

Same issue here, not sure how many requests are being made against the backend, but it seems that its looping thru the same query over and over.

I see several requests for embeddings and chat completions

i did setup correctly but after running the project when you search something ex- who is elon musk, ai keeps on searching answer but never give answer to question and also search and libray is not working error- Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)Understand this error

Library and discover features are under development. You need to provide more context (like the logs from the backend) for me to help you. Did you chose the models correctly? (from the settings menu)

Also you did not explain your setup, but if you are using Ollama please note that the speed of the results is dependant on your gpu performance that ollama uses. Also note that if you are running ollama in a docker container that container also needs to be properly configured for gpu usage.

Same issue, I did manual setup and using OpenAI API. I can see the requests has been sent in my OpenAI activity dashboard, but I'm not getting any results.

What are the logs from the browser console and the backend?

@ItzCrazyKns, turned out to be "searxng". I'm surprised that it's not mentioned in Readme.md considering it's a required dependency.

I added it in the manual installation steps today.

I'd like to add that you dont need to install searxng if you dont want to self-host. Just choose any of the instances listed on searx.space.

I've also got this issue. Doesn't seem to be a searxNG problem.

Backend only spits out:
error: Unhandled Rejection at: [object Promise], reason: TypeError: Invalid URL

Seems to be related to custom OpenAI provider or SearXNG, you need to do a little bit of debugging

Please re-install Perplexica and build images again using docker compose up -d --build. I recently pushed a commit addressing this issue and it is fixed by the latest commits
