Smart Search in Print Library

I'm following the threads of Smart Search like e.g. this one or this.

I own nearly all of v. Balthasars works in the german original in print. So I added the english translations to my print library and gave them a tag - mytag:vB. (That is better than nothing, but I'm still hoping that Logos/Verbum will carry the original german texts soon.)

Today, I wanted to have a brief summary of v. Balthasar's take on Anselm of Canterbury. So I asked Smart Search:

I've read through the works of v. Balthasar some decade ago, so I remembered that a whole chaper of "Glory II" is dedicated to Anselm, but it doesn't show up in the works cited by Smart Search. There is even the erroneous statement that Anselm's views weren't discussed by v. Balthasar, even if they are in more than one place.

So I tried to narrow down my search to the 7 volumes of "Glory", still not seeing quoted the aforementioned chapter of "Glory 2" on Anselm:

So I hand-picked the volume and here we are. Notice the open contradiction to the first search result:

If I wouldn't have remembered the specific volume dealing with Anselm, Smart Search would have not lead the right way. Could that be improved (from my side and/or Logos/Verbum)?
