Ollama v0.18.1 Integrates Web Search, Fetch for OpenClaw Models
Ollama v0.18.1 was released, introducing new web search and web fetch plugins specifically for OpenClaw. This update allows Ollama's language models, whether local or cloud-based, to search the web for the latest content and news. OpenClaw is now also capable of fetching web content and extracting readable information for processing, though it does not execute JavaScript. To utilize web search with local models in OpenClaw, users are required to sign into Ollama using `ollama signin`. Alternatively, the web search plugin can be installed directly into OpenClaw. The release further includes a non-interactive, or headless, mode for the `ollama launch` command, which allows for background operation.
