`Enable Internet Access` checkbox for having search engine results as reference. #474

There sould be a checkbox near the chat send button from where we can enable browsing mode for Open-Assistant so that ot can crawl though the search results from different search engines like Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo.

Or there could be a option to add a URL or local file address to take that content as reference before generating the output response.

Or may be can take oputput from different AI search engine like perplexity.ai as reference.

Can be tagged this isssue as feature request.

Thanks Open-Assistant team and all the contributors for such a great software.

I just 5 minute ago found out this chrome extension that already has implemented this.

I hope we can do something natively from our library for Open-Assistant than depending on external browser extentions that we don't know when it might stop supporting.

thanks for the reference. I'm closing this issue as retrieval is definitely a core part of the future roadmap, so if the initial assistant works at all, we will tackle this for sure.
