Some time ago we blogged about the sad state of search functions on German websites. Newspaper portals in particular have a large amount of high-quality content, but without powerful search, only the latest articles can be found in a useful way.

In this video, we take a look at major publications and how they deal with the issue of search and autocomplete. A spoiler ahead: the situation is unchanged.

For the moment, we limited ourselves to German publications, so the video is also only available in a DE version.

But this time around, since somebody else trained the foundation model, it is impossible to tell what data is really in there. Since lack of data causes hallucinations etc. this ignorance has pretty severe consequences.
