I have in my prompt for it to always use search, no matter what, and I get pretty decent results. Of course, I also question most of its answers, forcing it to prove to me that its answer is correct.

Just takes some prompt tweaking, redos, and followups.

It's like having a really smart human skim the first page of Google and give me its take, and then I can ask it to do more searches to corroborate what it said.
