Weird! I just tried "best time tracking app for iOS?" and got "iOSProgramming | 45.0 % swift | 18.0% ProtonMail | 14.0% ios | 4.0% apple | 3.0% iphone | 3.0% FlutterDev | 2.0% freebies | 1.0% jailbreak_ | 1.0% jailbreak | 1.0%"

For the second case: "I'm looking for a time tracking app. Any recommendations?" and got "GearVR | 43.0% TTVreborn | 14.0% WearOS | 4.0% OculusGo | 3.0% IPTV | 3.0% ApksApps | 2.0% animepiracy | 2.0% RabbitReddit | 2.0% NetflixViaVPN | 1.0% androidapps | 1.0%"

Which is a bit better! But still not perfect ;)

In my case the first sentence was the title and the second the body; I guess having the 2 together might’ve thrown it off. I didn’t know only one of the fields was actually required.

Good feedback. Indeed, it is not clear on the UI. The model concatenates the two, so not sure if changing the label "Message" to "Text" to mimic Reddit UI for text posts would be enough... Or rather just have a single "Text" textarea as for the model is the same.
