Almost every report i’ve seen shows over 50% of people using AI for search

Because it's not possible to search without there being an AI summary

    No these are not reports that count someone viewing an AI summary on google as using AI for search.

    I checked again to get a more up to date report and so that we actually have something to go off instead of my memory of some random reports. Pew finds 50% of people use chatbots and the most common use is searching for information. Also in the report the have a stat for reading AI summaries at the top of a search and that is 60% say that have, 10% dont know and 30% dont read it. https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2026/06/17/americans-and-ai-2026-chatbots-smart-devices-and-views-on-impact/

    So its fair to say I was wrong and its not over 50% but its close to 50%.
