Search is not Issue with Search Functionality Showing Irrelevant Result

[Dhruva]

I am not getting relevant results while searching on the D forum or Advance search button. I am trying to find discussions on specific legal discussions, answers questions, such as why a notice cannot be issued merely due to a difference between turnover reported in GSTR-8 (TCS return) and GSTR-3B.

However, when I search using keywords like "section 52", "TCS", and "GSTR-3B", the results are not focused. The system is showing all results containing any of these words separately, instead of combining them to give relevant discussions on the exact issue.

Ideally, the search should understand the full context and show results where all these concepts are connected, rather than displaying unrelated content with just one matching keyword.

AI Summary

Contextual legal search limitations highlight the need for Boolean logic, phrase matching, and relevance-based results.
The document discusses limitations in a legal forum's search functionality, where queries entered with multiple keywords do not return contextually relevant results. Instead of identifying discussions in which the searched concepts are connected, the search appears to match terms individually and produce unrelated content. The document suggests that better search functionality should include contextual relevance, Boolean logic, phrase-based searching, and prioritisation of results where all queried concepts are addressed together.
