Perplexity with search usually works fine, especially if you want to solve a problem, open 5-6 tabs and send them the same question choosing different models(Deepseek,4o,Gemini 2.5 pro). Perplexity doesn't limit how many concurrent threads are able to run at once. Continue the chat with the answer you prefer.
If you have access to an edu email, you'll get 1 year Perplexity Pro on that.
