GPT4All v3.1: "searching localdocs" appears after the selected collections have been deselected

[SINAPSA-IC]

Bug Report

The message "searching localdocs" appears after all of the previously selected LocalDocs collections have been deselected/unchecked.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Select 1 or more LocalDocs collections;
2. Ask the model something; it will search for info in the selected collections, and it will reply with info from those collections;
3. Deselect/Uncheck the collections, leave no collection selected;
4. Ask the model something; the message above will appear, as if the model is still searching for info in the selected collections - however, the reply is swift, implying that no actual search in LocalDocs was performed. This behavior is the same after 3 prompts in a row, with no collections selected anymore.

Expected Behavior

The message "searching localdocs" should not appear when no collections are selected, because:

• no LocalDocs collections have to be searched;
• looks like no actual search is being performed anyway.

Your Environment

• GPT4All version: v3.1
• Operating System: Windows 10 Pro, updated as of 2024.07
• Chat model used (if applicable): Mistral Instruct
