Chatbot vs. search engine to find information

As for me - no. For several reasons.

  • privacy (unless you’re running your own)
  • chatbot is usually quite out of date
  • different llms for different areas
  • I need to form everything into a sentence vs just 2, 3 keywords

That said, I use phind.com from time to time with various degree of success. Sometimes it help me solve the problem, sometimes doesn’t understand and runs in circles and sometime gives me an idea or point me in the right direction.
