I am seeing some inconsistent behavior with last name queries not surfacing their corresponding Provider entities. In some instances, the last name query does in fact surface the correct Provider but in other cases, neither first name nor last name queries surface the Provider. Can someone please provide some assistance here? Thank you so much!
Hey @Sean_Coleman - We have some information and best practices outlined in our post regarding people name searches. You are likely encountering a similar topic to @jyorke where there is a conflicting place match with the first or last name in the query. In the post, @Max_Davish outlined how we use BERT to predict a name vs. location search when the query could mean different things. There is also a blog post here that could help provide more context.
In short, this is likely expected behavior given how BERT works today. Soon (in an upcoming release), you’ll be able to train this model and submit filter overrides directly in the Yext platform. More to come there!
Best,
Sam
