I wouldn't say it's replaced search for me (Kagi in my case) but for anything where I'm looking for an answer with a bit of background ChatGPT takes the cake. It completely removes the need for me to click through to multiple websites and sum it up myself manually.
In the same way google/search made it possible to answer a question in real-time in a group of friends, ChatGPT does that but better in most cases. Yes, you have to deal with hallucinations and while they happen less often they do happen but you have to deal with crap in web searches as well.
Search is a super-power (most people suck at searching) and being able to grab information via ChatGPT feels very similar.
