[Bug]: Search tool 'test-search' not found in router.search_tools

[sheldonxxxx]

What happened?

Started the proxy server using this config

search_tools:
  - search_tool_name: test-search
    litellm_params:
      search_provider: searxng
      api_base: http://searxng:8080

From log, I can confirm this config is correctly loaded

LiteLLM: Proxy initialized with Search Tools:
    test-search (searxng)

But when I test with curl, received the below error

{
    "error": {
        "message": "Search tool 'test-search' not found in router.search_tools",
        "type": "None",
        "param": "None",
        "code": "500"
    }
}

Relevant log output

I tried to add Tavily using UI (since UI does not support setting api_base for searxng) and it worked. Seem like search setting in config is not use when DB is enabled

Having the same issue. Only search_tools from DB are available, not from config file like the docs show: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/search#litellm-ai-gateway-usage

Same issue - interestingly though they seem to be instantiated at boot, in the logs I see:

litellm           | LiteLLM: Proxy initialized with Search Tools:
litellm           |     exa-search (exa_ai)
litellm           |     perplexity-search (perplexity)
