Fuller AI Answers, and Queries That Keep Their Punctuation
Two changes to how a question is handled. The AI answer is now as detailed as your content allows and stays inside it, and the query itself now reaches both the search engine and the assistant exactly as it was typed.
01 Answers cover what the pages actually say
Answers used to be squeezed into a short paragraph that dropped most of what the matched pages contained. They now cover every relevant point, including the concrete details: model numbers, measurements, standards and dates.
The formatting changed with it. Instead of one dense block, an answer comes back as short paragraphs and bullet lists, so a long answer stays readable.
A short paragraph that summarised away the specifics, and could pad itself out with plausible advice or product names that appear nowhere on the site.
Every relevant point, with the concrete details kept, in short paragraphs and bullet lists — and nothing that the indexed content does not state.
Restricted to your content
The assistant is now restricted to what your indexed content states. It no longer fills gaps with plausible-sounding advice, or with product names that do not appear on your site.
02 Queries keep their punctuation
Characters such as [ ] { } ( ) ^ ~ ! were being stripped out of every query before it ran. Anything typed with brackets or a caret arrived at the index in a different form from the one the visitor entered.
Those characters are now passed to Solr safely, as a value rather than as query syntax. The question reaches both the search engine and the AI assistant exactly as typed, without the punctuation being interpreted as operators.
