AI Search issue
When I perform an AI search for "Was Nero the antichrist?" I get a different answer than when I search for "Was Nero the anti-christ?" Hopefully Logos can figure out a way to account for words that are commonly spelled with slight variations.

These 2 questions appear identical, Mark, except for the dash in the second anti-christ, probably occasioned by the necessity of a new line……Or maybe I need glasses.

I think that is his point - why get different answers when "antichrist" and "anti-christ" are the same concept?

Maybe it sees that dash as an operator?

That is not the problem. What each search is doing is pulling from books that spell the word as used in the search query - the query with "antichrist" will pull from books where the word is spelled this way, and the same for "anti-christ". This means you must run two searches if you want a more thorough response.

While that appears in fact to be the issue, one would hope for some fuzzy logic in an AI search. When Data parses a question with no understanding at all, that's funny. In search on Logos, not so much.

My guess, assuming the question is sent to an AI, is that "antichrist" and "anti-christ" tokenize differently in the AI hence the different responses.
(Lots of assumptions here on what happens under the hood; and I'm likely wrong, but that's my first thought as to explaining a difference in what the AI query returns)

I would suggest that anytime AI sees a hyphenated word that it searches for the word with and without the hyphen. Determining if a word without a hyphen could legitimately be used with a hyphen would be a much harder task.

If you look under a Search box with "anti-christ", there is a message with "Search for
was Nero the antichristinstead" and the results include articles with that spelling. It isSmartenough to include other forms like "anti-christian", "antichrists" unless you exclude them e.g. -"anti-christian".Dave
