I agree, I've found it very useful for search tasks that involve putting a few pieces together. For example, I was looking for the floor plan of an apartment building I was considering moving to in a country I'm not that familiar with. Google: Found floor plans on architect's sites - but only ones of rejected proposals.

ChatGPT: Gave me the planning proposal number of the final design, with instructions to the government website where I can plug that in to get floor plans and other docs.

In this case, ChatGPT was so much better at giving me a definitive source than Google - instead of the other way around.
