OK - I have got it working properly in the AI bot (via discourse-ai/ai-bot/conversations) but the same search finds nothing using the “search assistant” which appears next to the main search results. However, If I click on “continue conversation” - and ask it to try again, it finds what i am looking for in the same way as the AI bot! Is this a bug, or have a set something up wrong?
