Does Google Assistant not count? Searching for things with the assistant is certainly one of its main features.

I'm thinking more like some of the demos I've seen of Adept AI, where you type in (or speak) a complex command and it does the job for you. Like telling the assistant to "find flights to New York between 15th and 18th December that are under $250".

Regardless, if the future of search is less a list of pages and more a set of focused, customized results, I can't see how Google will work in that context. Google, so far, has shown zero ability to monetize anything that can't be papered over with ads.
