  It’s in the app. Tap on any item and then scroll all the way down until you see the box that says Looking for specific info?

    Yeah, I tried that. I tried putting stuff in the box and all it comes up with is ‘Hmm, no matches. To get an answer, try different keywords or post your question to the community.’

    Are you from the UK? I’m wondering of this is a Europe vs elsewhere thing.

      For me (in the app) it only starts generating AI answers if I change the question a couple times. Presumably that’s to save costs on the AI by just trying a dumb search first and resorting to AI if the user keeps searching.

        I’m in the UK and it doesn’t work for me either, even after changing my question 4 or 5 times. It’s probably region-locked.
