Search wasn't just "search". It was "put a prompt in a form and then spend minutes/hours going through various websites until I get my answer". LLMs change that. I don't have to go through 20 different people's blog posts on "Which 12v 100Ah LifePO4 battery tests for the highest watt hours", the LLM simply just gives me answer that is most relevant across those 20 blog posts. It just distilled what I would have taken an hour to do down to seconds or 2 minutes.

Yup. Now you get a quick reply and have to then do the same job as before to validate it. Except all websites are deploying crawler countermeasures so it takes even longer now.
