So would a book could be considered intelligent if it was large enough to contain the answer to any possible question? Or maybe the search tool that simply matches your input to the output the book provides, would that be intelligence?

To me, something can't be considered intelligent if it lacks the ability to learn.

Definitely. If you have a search tool that maps situational data to the perfect response, like it works out well every time, your search tool is intelligent. Period.

So given a large enough text file, the ctrl+f search box in Notepad would constitute as being intelligent in your opinion?
