We must have wildly different workflows/ways to interact with the web.

Search is always faster than asking an LLM if I have a general idea of what I am looking for. I may consult an LLM if I want to compare things or kick off deep research, but most of the time I find myself having to go back and forth with it and correcting assumptions it made.

According to my Kagi stats, I am averaging around 3k searches per month.

I can’t help but feel that you are really missing out on a lot of results when just relying on LLMs for search.

Can you give an example of your searches?

I'm with the GP. To me LLMs are just better search engines. In the most literal sense. They have their own index and can generate links if you want them.
