Notes:

For ChatGPT & Claude, search was not auto initializing, and was only creating a draft promt, and needed to press Enter.
- For my work profile, I have set ChatGPT as default search engine by using a chrome extension called “ChatGPT Search”
- For Claude, I use the desktop app, with shortcut key binding of Opt + Space.
For Perplexity and Gemini, search was working fine
- For my personal chrome profile, I have set perplexity as default search engine.
