The web search aspect of this is great, I find that GPT-4's knowledge cut-off leads me down pathways far too often where a library is now out-of-date (e.g Next.js, React)

We were actually joking that we should limit all of our dependencies to pre-2021 ;)

With that said, I tried a few toy examples and was led astray. One simple prompt:

> How do you center an emoji at 100px size in the middle of a blank html page using tailwindcss?

Led to a suggestion on how to do this with CSS, linking to StackOverflow. GPT-4 correctly used TailwindCSS in their result (even without any plugins).

My new workflow is "try GPT-4, fall back to Phind" -- I hope that order switches soon!



Phind's Expert mode got this right: https://www.phind.com/search?cache=bd11d081-d6e2-4b0a-a17a-d.... Expert mode with GPT-4 is way better than our default mode, hence the point of this Show HN :)


Very nice! It seems the "expert toggle" might not respect history? Looking back at my query from yesterday, the UI implies Expert mode was enabled, but I bet it wasn't when I first ran it.

Thanks for a great tool.
