Yea 'needle in a haystack' style search is something that LLM based search is simply not as good at. The reason Google is still seeing growth (in revenue etc.)

Yea 'needle in a haystack' style search is something that LLM based search is simply not as good at. The reason Google is still seeing growth (in revenue etc.) is that for a lot 'commercial' search still ends with this kind of action. Take purchasing a power drill for example, you might use an LLM for some research on what drills are best, but when you're actually looking to purchase you probably just want to find the product on Home Depot/Lowe's etc.
