Subject: RE: Tech: Do Google searches w/o AI 'results' on page
I've never seen AI results, maybe I have some kind of protection, she sez. vaguely.

But 'm wondering if my local Council Library catalogue is using AI on a search.

Last night I entered the exact title of a book (which I will pick up this morning) & received 14 other results that did not refer in any way to that title.

It's fiction & suggestions include more (uninteresting) fiction, childrens books, a book about WW2, a cook book, a book about Ancient Egypt ...

I've found the common element!! All titles either started with A (something or other) or the letter A (Alice)

Surely there are more than 15 books in a library system with 11 branches that start with A????? I took photos & will Ask a Librarian.
