Another use case I expected to work, but it did not.
For more than a year, I have been redirecting OpenAI Codex bug reports from the forum to GitHub when I can identify a closely related open issue.
Today, a Codex issue was posted, and I followed my usual workflow. Using ChatGPT, I was able to identify a valid, closely related open Codex GitHub issue.
I then tried essentially the same prompt using Discourse search, except instead of providing a link to the specific forum topic, I selected “This topic.”
The result was:
I then tried “AI”:
I understand that the first search is intended to limit results to topics within the forum. However, once users become accustomed to using “Ask” for broader, AI-assisted queries, the distinction between the two behaviors may not be obvious.
