How to use the AI Search Assistant?

I try to use the AI search assistant but I do not find how to.

The documentation says to press Return in the toolbar search field and click the AI button in the search options. In DEVONthink 4.x there is no AI button in the search options. Has the Search Assistant been removed or how is it opened in the current version?

It’s there for me.

Have you configured an AI model?

OK, found it. Looked in the “normal” search box

I found the button but it wasn’t enabled for me. For anyone else running into the issue, my fix was to increase the context window size I had enabled for my AI provider to something larger than 8K. For some reason it had defaulted me to 4k.

Welcome @Jon_s
What AI provider and model are you using?
