Have you tried gathering sample queries from real people? I previously worked at a company that tried this briefly. They gave up after getting the first sample of queries real users typed in.

Not yet specifically for this; It is an excellent point.

If I may, was there any particular phrases that you remember that were "too much"?

It would be great to talk more about your experience, if you are open. Just let me know and I can DM you.

Given that I was not in the group, I can't provide any great detail. It sounded like people entered extremely vague sentence fragments.

Ah, copy that. Not enough input is, well, not enough. Appreciate the clarification.
