Smart Search not so smart on this one

There was an error rendering this rich post.

See the image…. the results returned seem to be way off the mark on "How did Paul die?" I assume compared to having other prioritized resources? What else could be causing this? Wouldn't it make more sense for the AI to do a more complete survey of my library to present results that truly appeared to answer the question?

Look at the difference between my smart search, and the screen from a mp seminars smart search of the same question. Theirs is much more accurate in trying to provide resources to answer the question…

The first search seems to be in one specific resource (Catholic Commentary …) while the second search seems to have no restriction (i.e., the search is run on Your Books).

Prioritization does not play into Smart Search at all. Yasmin appears to be correct in the observation that you have restricted the search to only one commentary. I was able to duplicate your results by utilizing the same restriction. When searching all of my resources, I was able to get a much more helpful result.

You chose the wrong book/method. An ALL Search would be more productive, whilst a Books Search of all my books produced an accurate result from one book.

Ah my bad, a leftover book selection at the top I did not see! Thank you @Dave Hooton @Yasmin Stephen @Aaron Hamilton for the suggestion to check that! Here is an updated run, looks right now!

You omitted the Synopsis, which is the crucial part!

NetworkGeek

Ah yes - I was focused on the list of resources. I keep the Synopsis turned off until I get some experience in how many AI credits I use haha.

Here is my synopsis, it was good!

I only had the Drane book in Library so your additional books provided more detail.
