Can you give an example of using the context of a previous query?

I applaud you for trying to make a new search engine - it's not something sane people would try to do because of a certain behemoth eating everyone's lunch. It's going to take extraordinary insight and out of the box thinking to get something really good.

Yep, the AI definitely prefers fully formed sentences as it is right now. We know it's important not to force users to change how they word their queries, so making it less sensitive for phrasing is a priority for us.

Searching "meta class python" gives better results, which seems reasonable to me.
