An information, a reference source

Avoid adding several contradictory versions of the same content. If a document replaces the previous one, update the existing resource to trigger its reindexation.

Start with easy-to-test content

Choose a source that contains an explicit answer to three or four real questions. You can check immediately:

the resource is indexed;
the title correctly describes it;
that the answer contains the correct information;
that an uncovered question does not produce an invented statement.
