Some unhelpful auto-corrected searches

Using the Logos store to search for books has been a bit frustrating lately.

A search for biographies of Albert the Great (teacher of Thomas Aquinas) becomes autocorrected to Gregory the Great (who is nearly six centuries earlier than St. Albert). Not to mention, FL has hardly any biographies of Albert anyway...

Then a search of "Vatican II" is autocorrected to Pope John Paul II. This kind of behavior really makes me lose confidence in the platform...

That's like some of the web search engines?

I'd prefer Logos search what I asked for first; then tell me it thinks there's an alternate (if indeed even valid)

The problem isn't that unhelpful suggestions are made; rather, the whole search is hijacked and replaced by incorrect results, in behavior that was meant to be helpful.

I wish that what you suggest were the case: search first for what I literally typed, then ask me, "did you mean X?"

I agree with Br. Damien-Joseph.

The particular auto-correct noted was around some years ago, IIRC.
