Summary: Perplexity adds Health, Plan, and Shopping categories

Why It Matters: Perplexity is moving away from general news and local info toward specific tasks like shopping and health. This suggests they want to help users take action rather than just read facts.

What Changed:

• Added "Health," "Plan," and "Shopping" as primary search categories.
• Removed "Local," "Latest News," and "Recommend" categories.
• Shortened the search box placeholder text from a detailed instruction to "Ask anything..."
• Simplified the login area by grouping social sign-in buttons.
