Whenever you are dictating it's like you are writing the information, except 
for any potential mistakes SIRI will put exactly what you say. Dictation is 
also done via SIRI, but it is just voice recognition just the same as when you 
dictate a text message. Then if you dictate a phrase or whatever and you are in 
the Youtube search box then of course whatever is found is up to how Youtube 
matches what you said.
If you use SIRI and ask "When was Albert Einstein's birthday" or something 
similar the answer depends on what sources SIRI has available and is checking 
for answers. Here SIRI is not as good as other virtual assistants such as the 
one from Google which seems to come up with useful information more often.

I guess what I was noticing is that when I dictate a query in the search field 
in YouTube I can use very natural speech and it brings me up pretty near 
exactly what I'm looking for. When I asked Siri a question what determines 
whether she'll be able to answer it or not? What she will find? Why is the 
performance so much less able to recognize the nature of the information I am 
seeking?
