Research answers seem incomplete or generic

If a research response feels high-level, generic, or misses expected case law or statutes, it is usually due to missing or incorrect research context rather than an error.

Common causes

• Research is not enabled for the query.

• The wrong jurisdiction is selected.

• The prompt lacks sufficient legal or factual context.

Research outputs are highly sensitive to setup, even small mismatches can significantly affect results.

How to improve research quality

Asking focused follow-up questions significantly enhances the quality of the response by steering the inquiry towards specific areas of interest.

Often, the tool starts with a preliminary and superficial overview, if not instructed otherwise. Pushing the tool to be more specific and in-depth and clarifying the exact purpose of the research ("find cases with similar facts that I can use for my arguments in court in this matter"), not only clarifies the topic under discussion but also ensures that the answer is comprehensive and aligned with the your specific informational needs.

Try explicitly naming the statute, section, or court in your prompt. Research responds best when guided toward a legal frame.

You can also:

• Confirm that Research is turned on before submitting your query.

• Double-check the selected jurisdiction(s)

• Toggle 'Deep Mode' for more detail.
