After months of limited testing, OpenAI has officially launched ChatGPT Search, an innovative feature integrated directly into ChatGPT. This isn’t a separate tool; instead, ChatGPT Search brings real-time web search functionality to ChatGPT, allowing it to deliver timely, curated answers on current events, trending topics, sports scores, news, and weather—similar to Google Search.
When users enter queries that require up-to-date information, ChatGPT will now automatically activate the Search tool to retrieve the latest insights from trusted sources. You can also manually enable this feature by clicking the “Search” icon.
In addition to ChatGPT Search, OpenAI has introduced a ChatGPT Search Chrome extension. Available on Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers (such as Edge, Brave, and Opera), this extension redirects search queries from Google to ChatGPT, providing an AI-powered alternative to traditional search engines.
ChatGPT Search is now accessible to both free and ChatGPT Plus users across web, mobile, and desktop apps. Users benefit from quoted sources at the end of each response for further reading and can even ask follow-up questions to deepen their understanding on any topic.
Major Media Partnerships for Comprehensive Search Results
OpenAI has partnered with prominent media outlets, including Associated Press, Axel Springer, Condé Nast, Dotdash Meredith, Financial Times, and Reuters, ensuring ChatGPT Search provides accurate, reliable, and diverse information on various subjects.
