I use Google for everything out of habit, but I keep hearing that chatbot search is better for open-ended questions and worse for quick facts and shopping. I am not switching for hype, I want the tool that gets me the right answer fastest. For people who have actually switched their default: what did you miss about Google first, and what made you stay switched?","community":"Software","score":1,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":781,"name":"Keep Google default, use chatbot for open-ended questions","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-04T14:26:41.720Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/645","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":781,"name":"Keep Google default, use chatbot for open-ended questions","body":"I kept Google as my default and use the chatbot only for open-ended stuff like planning a trip or comparing options. What I missed first when I tried switching fully was local results and shopping: store hours, stock checks, and price comparisons were all slower and vaguer. My rule now is simple: if the question has one factual answer, Google. If it needs a summary of tradeoffs, chatbot.","score":1,"rank_score":1,"author":{"username":"lenamakes","verified":false},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-11-04T14:35:13.023Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
