What changed
Roder’s terminal settings can now manage web-search provider selection directly. External routers such as Firecrawl, Tavily, Perplexity, Parallel, and Synthetic appear alongside hosted modes.
The setting is available from the TUI settings menu and command palette, so users do not need to edit TOML by hand just to choose the search route a model should use.
Why it matters
- Users can choose and persist a search provider from the terminal workflow where they already work.
- Provider rows show enabled and API-key-configured state, which makes it clear whether a search route is ready before a model turn depends on it.
- Synthetic search can reuse the Synthetic inference key, reducing duplicate setup for teams already using Synthetic models.
Using provider selection
Open the command palette with Ctrl+P, choose the web-search provider action, and select the provider you want Roder to use. The selected provider is persisted for the next restart.
