Gpt4 driving the Bing tool is a better search engine than Google. First it can critique your objectives and turn them into effective search terms. Second it can filter through spam and avoid displaying it. Third it can reach into the contents of Target pages and actually extract the solution to the problem you're having.
These are all things that classic search engines had the opportunity to provide, but declined, in some cases due to the anti-competitive nature of reaching into pages and extracting answers, and in other cases because they would have reduced revenues.
Prior to Gpt4 there was PowerSet, which was specifically targeting search. They got bought by Microsoft and then... nothing.
While you can use Gpt4 to do the job, you have to ask yourself why there isn't a search engine just using it.
