Smart searches to difficult?

I have noticed that Logos struggles somewhat with questions that cannot be answered immediately from one or two sources, but require something more akin to creative thinking. In AI tools outside of Logos, questions such as the following two examples can be answered relatively easily. Logos remains rather unsatisfactory in this regard.

What are your experiences? What types of questions does Logos still struggle to process? What types work realy good?

Create an overview of the 5-10 most important enemies of Israel, including their origin, their particular resistance to Israel, their typological significance, and the spiritual lesson for the New Testament church. Add the relevant Bible passages to each column.

Show me an overview of the ten plagues according to various criteria.

I think that this is probably by design. Logos Smart Search is a search first and foremost. It isn't supposed to do synthesis on its own, it is supposed to expose what's in your library. If you don't have anything in your library that answers the specific question then I wouldn't expect good results.

The Study Assistant has a pretty good go!

I avoid complex queries in Smart and prefer follow-up queries in Study Assistant, perhaps splitting your query into 3 or more parts.

Same for me. Logos smart search is not an AI chat. It only searches wider and smarter than the words you enter. It's pretty good after all, but works differently compared to AI chat bots.

My story is different. I want to raise awareness of how to ask a question in order to get the most helpful answer possible. This is especially important when considering the unique response patterns of Logos, which differ significantly from typical AI. It does not seem to be possible to specify a particular response format for Logos. Name five arguments, list them, add Bible passages. This suggestion is also directed at Faithlife, to enable different question and answer formats.
