Why doesn't Library Search give me the results I want?

Answer

Library Search is limited in its ability to function like modern search engines or gen AI tools.  If you are using punctuation in your search, such as a question at the end of the sentence, the software behind Library Search, will exclude the word that has a question mark at the end of it.
