[Bug]: Docker Redis Insight does not detect Redis Search when opening a preconfigured database through a direct route

[raphaeldelio]

Preconditions

Docker Redis Insight is started as a fresh instance.

The Redis database connection is preconfigured through Docker environment variables:

RI_REDIS_HOST=redis

RI_REDIS_PORT=6379

RI_REDIS_ALIAS=Workshop Redis

RI_ACCEPT_TERMS_AND_CONDITIONS=true

The target Redis database has Redis Search enabled.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Docker Redis Insight with a preconfigured Redis database connection.

2. Open Redis Insight directly at:

http://localhost:5540/0/vector-search

3. Observe the Search page.

4. Go back to the database picker:

http://localhost:5540/

5. Click the same preconfigured database.

6. Open the Search tab again.

Actual behavior

When Docker Redis Insight is opened directly at /0/vector-search, the Search page says:

Redis Query Engine is not available for this database

After entering the same preconfigured database through the database picker, the Search page loads correctly.

Expected behavior

Docker Redis Insight should detect Redis Search for the preconfigured database when opening /0/vector-search or /0/browser directly.
