Would be very cool if you could type a long query and the model would just build an advanced google search query using what you typed. You could even ship a tiny model in the browser itself that does that.
Something like: "blog posts which talk about using sending emails to yourself as a notes taking mechanism".
The output could look like: "note taking" OR "notes" ("emailing yourself" OR "email to myself" OR "email yourself") (inurl:blog OR inurl:posts OR site:medium.com OR site:substack.com)
- amelius 17d agoIt wouldn't be cool because it would still hand your data to Google.
- _flux 17d agoI assume Google was just a placeholder for a search engine in the example. And you'll surely need some service to search the web.
- amelius 17d agoIt could anonymize the data, at least.
- duskdozer 17d agoI don't know about that. When I hear people reference "Google" it seems to me they do mean Google. Similar with "Claude".
- Forgeties79 17d agoPeople still use “Google” as a synonym for “online search.”
- duskdozer 17d agoYes, and IME it also is true that "online search" means in fact google.com. And there's no distinction for search results and reading the google AI summary.
- bee_rider 17d agoWe’ve got the whole post to parse, though. The idea is obviously applicable to other search engines.
- layer8 17d agoThat’s a great idea, and would be a much better feature than the unimaginative things Mozilla has been implementing. It’s so disappointing.
- Vinnl 17d agoI think that's roughly what duck.ai is doing? If I type that in there I see it generating some search queries and then generating a list of links based on the different result pages.

- pessimizer 17d agoThere's no such thing as an advanced google search query anymore. The second will give you worse results than the first (without quotes.)
- ANighRaisin 17d agoWell, it would be helpful for scholarly articles.
- negura 17d agoThere is. By default it tries to obey your query. But if that query returns no results, only then it makes a best-effort attempt to return something vaguely related.
- vvpan 17d agoI feel like much of what Perplexity does can be accomplished that way.
