Quick question before this merges: apify-hermes-agent-plugin#20 switches the web search backend from RAG Web Browser to the Web Search Actor, which caps results at 10 and adds APIFY_WEB_SEARCH_COUNTRY / APIFY_WEB_SEARCH_LANGUAGE. This PR documents v0.1.5, so the search details (line 81, the web.search_backend row, and the Resources link) will be out of date once that ships.

Which would you prefer?

  1. Merge this as is for v0.1.5, and follow up with a separate PR when the next release is out.
  2. Hold this PR until the next release and update it to cover Web Search, the 10-result cap, and the two new env vars. This assumes it's fine to name the Web Search Actor publicly by then.

web.search_backend and web.extract_backend are documented twice: in the YAML block under "Use Apify for web search and fetch" and in this table. Could you keep them in one place? Either works:

  1. Keep the YAML in the web search section and drop these two rows.
  2. Keep these rows and replace the YAML with a short pointer to Configuration.
