My usage is more in line with how it was originally conceived, I search engines as an interface to Stack Overflow. If I have a problem, I do a search, if it lands me on Stack Overflow, then that's where I get my information.
The really good answers are getting harder to find, so I see Stack Overflow less and less, but I disagree with those who comments that LLMs have taken the role of primary source of information. I don't use ChatGPT, CoPilot, or any other LLM and I also seen a sharp reduction in the amount of times I find myself on Stack Overflow. Depending on what I do, my go to is either the official documentation or source code. Only exception is probably C, where I will frequently go to the OpenBSD man pages first, as they are really well written, and then adapt if something doesn't line up with glibc.
