What

Update the You.com web search docs to use the canonical YDC_API_KEY environment variable, noting the legacy YOUCOM_API_KEY is still accepted.

Why

YDC_API_KEY is You.com's canonical API key env var (used by You.com's own docs/SDK and the LangChain/CrewAI/DSPy integrations). This pairs with open-webui/open-webui#26295, which makes the You.com web search provider prefer YDC_API_KEY while keeping YOUCOM_API_KEY as a fallback.

Changes

  • providers/youcom.md: docker-compose example uses YDC_API_KEY.
  • reference/env-configuration.mdx: documents YDC_API_KEY, with YOUCOM_API_KEY noted as the legacy fallback.

Note: best merged after the code PR open-webui/open-webui#26295 lands.

…API_KEY fallback)

Aligns the You.com web search docs with You.com's canonical YDC_API_KEY env
var. Pairs with open-webui/open-webui#26295, which makes the provider prefer
YDC_API_KEY while still accepting the legacy YOUCOM_API_KEY.
