Semantic search was always going to be the killer feature of this AI boom. But it’s just a cherry on top of existing software and requires training users to expand what they think is possible.

As far as I can tell, AI is one of several features that have actively made search worse. There are a handful of novel things it does well enough, but I'd rather engage those in their own LLM sandbox than have the facilities formerly available in a searchbox replaced with a guessbox.

I would guess is you're probably in the minority with that opinion.

What kind of search has it made worse? I’m not talking about Google search. I’m talking about searching your personal collection of emails or photos or text messages.
