I think search-wise Google is an interesting place. The results page (especially mobile) has transformed dramatically the last few years. Now you get a dizzying array of widgets filled with rich info that’s been surfaced from other places.
Personally I find the way it’s organized haphazard and frustrating to navigate. However the info they’re a managing to put front and center before you click a link is impressive. I think there’s and opportunity for Google to harness this power and create the best possible power search interface.
I also don’t believe chat is the instant death of search. I think many would prefer a killer dedicated search interface over chatting with their computer.
Side note: as someone who loves a good old list of links, I’ve been using kagi.com and have been happy. Big fan of paid search as a model.

I also really like Kagi, but I think the new pricing is on the expensive side for someone that does a lot of quick searches.
