Major search engines are so broken these days, that LLMs are better at producing deterministic results. I was looking for a document containing three strings, and got zero results. The "AI" chat immediately found it. This is not due to some language analysis feature (it was an exact match on English words, no declensions or anything needed).
Today again I was looking for a news article matching some keywords and got no results. #SearxNG found it just fine.
