Again, LLM search does some nice things that google search doesn't, but that's also because google search sucks.
Google search has been "llm based" since around 2019 - they've integrated BERT embeddings of your queries for a long time!
Having those embeddings plug into a text generation final layer instead of a retrieval infrastructure isn't somehow magical. ChatGPT only seems better because it's not filled with crap the same way google and bing are.
With that said, search does a lot of things that chatGPT is simply not good at. "Find a hardware store near me". "How does a E15 lightbulb head look like versus the one in my hand", etc.
