SearchGPT vs Google: 🌸 How it handles specific product searches! Rewrites queries + uses its own search engine 🤔 Interesting twist: might shine for "don't know the name"...
One thing I could see people using search GPT a lot for is when you're searching for something but you don't quite know what it's called. I'm looking for paper flowers for a wedding, but they need to be very high quality. Are there any stores online that offer something like that?
I don't mind paying a lot of information there. You couldn't put this into Google and get something coherent, but found mostly DIY flower projects, so it's not what I was looking for, but there's definitely some potential here. I'm guessing it's taking my prompt and rewriting it to this title here top online stores for high quality paper flowers and then searching for that in its own search engine and summarizing the results.
Let's see what comes up on Google for that same term. Google's results are definitely better. It's actually give me what I was looking for high quality paper flowers that I can purchase.
A little bit of DIY here, but much better than the results I was getting from Search GPT. Search GPT does open up new options that aren't available in Google, but for most traditional searches, Google seems to be returning better results in a better format.
SearchGPT may help with vague product searches where the user knows the qualities they want but not the product name.
For product discovery pages, write around natural-language constraints and use cases, not just exact product names, so AI search can map vague intent to specific options.
