Describe the bug

I gave a scientific article to extract entities and keywords but the global search is very sensitive to the questions i ask. As stated in the graphrag paper, graphRAG should perform well across global summarization tasks, hence i tried to get keywords out of the document with query :

"Find 5 keywords to describe this document in the order of importance, NO explanations of the keyword."

Where I also added a print statement after this line. I see the search_response variable has the correct answer

Search response: { "keywords": [ "Hippocampus", "Theta Oscillations", "Memory Processing", "CA1 Region", "Neurogenesis" ] }

However further in the code i think there is a problem parsing this answer and i get

SUCCESS: Global Search Response: I am sorry but I am unable to answer this question given the provided data.

Other times , i was getting json decode error as well depending on the question. So i cannot trust this tool yet for datasets of bigger size.

Steps to reproduce

ca1_paper_grobid.txt

Use the attached document to run the toolbox and just ask questions as i did

python -m graphrag.query --root ./ragtest/ --method global "Find 5 keywords to describe this document in the order of importance, NO explanations of the keyword."

Expected Behavior

    "Hippocampus",
    "Theta Oscillations",
    "Memory Processing",
    "CA1 Region",
    "Neurogenesis"

You can try enabling allow_general_knowledge to encourage the LLM to incorporate relevant general knowledge, at the risk of increasing hallucinations.
