no web search provider configured

Error message

no web search provider configured

What it means

Configuration guard in WebSearchService.resolveProvider: neither a provider ID nor the deprecated config.Provider field was supplied, so the service has no web search backend to delegate to. It fires when Search is called with an empty WebSearchConfig — i.e., web search was never configured for this workspace.
