I think LLMs are better at finding the most helpful sources now, but that's more a testament to how much the front page of web search has lost to low value LLM content.

The fact that you can express "Only show me websites run by Italian companies incorporated by Greece owners born in Turkey" for example, and it'll be able to filter through a bunch of stuff, just makes searching so much easier. Fuzzy-search is also on another level with language models.
Interestingly enough, precise search is on the way out.
Yeah, which makes no sense, talk about shooting yourself in the foot, but this is big tech, part of the process to irrelevancy I suppose.
I'm pretty sure there'd be a double-digit drop in LLM use if Google hasn't made search worse every year for the last decade.
Precise search has been dead for a long time.

this is exactly it… if google was smart they would focus on providing that experience on search vs. AI summarizing results. I want that fluid search experience, with refinement that remembers my previous ask…
