Gpt-4o-mini file_search tool is unreliable

I’ve got a series of tools I’m using the assistant with gpt-4o-mini. the file search tool continues to return an empty set most of the time. It is supposed to return an article summary or the contents of a rubric. But a lot of the time its returning nothing. It worked with gpt-4o but cost a lot. Anyone else have this experience or advice?

I have noticed the same, file search with gpt-4o-mini does not seem to work. The same query with gpt-4o works well.

Sent you a message. I’m having same issue!

Same. I was about to say the same thing, but I found this topic. GPT-4o-mini can’t even find the most basic matches from the file resources.
