Remove searchResultsToConsider setting and hardcode to 6#2113
Merged
Conversation
- Remove the slider from AI settings UI - Remove searchResultsToConsider from defaultSettings - Always wait for search results in canStartResponding() - Hardcode .slice(0, 6) in text generation and chat interface - Update tests and documentation
The value 6 was duplicated as a bare literal in textGeneration.ts and ChatInterface.tsx; a change to one could miss the other. Extract it as a named constant in textGenerationUtilities.ts (alongside defaultContextSize) and reference it at both sites. Also document the fixed value in ai-integration.md so self-hosters know why the AI context always draws on the top 6 results.

Remove the

The default value of 3 was too few for good LLM responses. Hardcoding to 6 gives the model more context without requiring user configuration. The slider was a false choice — most users left it at 3, which produced suboptimal results.
