Searching the web is a great feature in theory, but every implementation I've used so far looks at the top X hits and then interprets it to be the correct answer.

When you're talking to an LLM about popular topics or common errors, the top results are often just blogspam or unresolved forum posts, so the you never get an answer to your problem.

More of an indicator that web search is more unusable than ever, but interesting that it affects the performance of generative systems, nonetheless.
