Interesting! This one works for me. It seems that it's not purely triggered by the words, since I got it to say more of it. It's not the quotes, either:
(following my previous queries):

But when asked directly for the opening paragraph it stops at the comma. Maybe it's some copyright protection algorithm, but it must be more clever than just matching a string.
That isn't how the quote feature is supposed to work. I just tried putting the individual keywords in quotes ("lowes" "pet" "bedding") and it works exactly like you would expect.
I'm frustrated that the site does not render block quotes... An important feature when trying to guess adjacent words, given that the authorial voice is subject to change between paragraphs
Not allowing quotes drives users to limit their quoting to a relevant part. I observed other places that users have a hard time to limit themselves and context is always there.
Do you have an example where adding quotes doesn't work? As far as I can tell, it always works for me (yeah, we may be getting different personalized results, but still...)
Out of curiosity: do you filter sentences than begin with ‘>’, indicating a block quote from another user? That might improve the accuracy a little here, if you don’t already.
I've also seen cases where the quote seems to be ignored. I don't have a full theory yet but I think it might be when the contained string is too long? Next time I see it I'll send it to you.
Highlighting the quotes reminds me of a gripe I have with quoting styles in print: When a quote consists of two paragraphs, the first paragraph does not get an ending quote:
He said, "The first sentence.
"The second sentence," he continued.
Somehow my mind gets triggered pretty intensely by these unbalanced quotes.
I really need to re-record that, I agree! I make a passing comment to replace them with real quotes, but at that point I guess the AI wouldn't have been all that helpful.
Been doing it for years, never looked back. Quotes should delimit the quote, your period is outside that quote. The closest I get is where a comma would work in a quote, and the writing interjects the speaker. e.g., "Grab that," foo barred, "and get over here", because "Grab that", foo barred, ", and get over here" is fugly.
