While using the Research assistant to look for information, I noticed that the research assistant seems very sensitive to the query used. With a few resulting in actual results, others in no results, or some other bug like switching to Spanish or a entirely different topic.
For example:
"Was stopping/reducing widespread surveillance by the US government ever part of Barack Obama's campaign promises?" results in actual results:
"Was stopping/reducing widespread surveillance by the US government ever part of Barack Obama's campaign promises" (without the question mark) results in no results:
"Was stopping/reducing widespread surveillance by the US government ever part of Barack Obama's campagn promises" (misspelled "campaign"; query i found the issue with) results in at first a similar unable to find results rambling, but after a partial <SEARCH REQUIRED> is seen, the output is replaced entirely with information about 'World Teachers' Day":
"Was stopping/reducing widespread surveillance by the US government ever part of Barack Obama's campagn promises?" (misspelling + question mark) seems to give results, but not as "focused" or "good"
There was also an instance where the assistant switched to using Spanish for the no results rambling and one where I believe it talked about teachers' day in Spanish, but I'm unsure of what variation of this query led to that (it may have possibly used resources in spanish?).
All of these where for the expert research assistant, with the fast version seeming less sensitive, but I haven't done much testing with it and this query.
I would expect for the what is basically the same query to have nearly the same/more consistent results.
