A new ’12 Days of OpenAI’ holiday event marks a milestone: ChatGPT’s search feature is free for everyone. The tool, previously only for ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers, is now open to everyone, making it easier to access the latest information from within ChatGPT.
This announcement coincides with the launch of Sora, OpenAI’s AI video generation tool. Read the details if you are wondering how to use ChatGPT’s search functionality.
What is ChatGPT Search?
It’s not another product after all; it’s a built-in chat GPT search. This enables users to get the most recent info available on the web and adds a feature to ChatGPT to answer any inquiry accurately and in real-time. No matter what you use, whether it’s an Android app, iPhone app, desktop app, or chatgpt.com, the search is easily available.
How to Use ChatGPT Search
Here’s how you can start using ChatGPT search:
- Log In to Your ChatGPT Account.
- Enter your question or topic in the message bar.
- ChatGPT finds the best response to your question, it will automatically decide whether it needs to use search to find the answer. You can also manually search for something by clicking on the globe icon in the message bar.
- ChatGPT retrieves information from the web and presents it as a conversation. It aims to be accurate, it’s always a good idea to double-check critical information.
ChatGPT search is a tool that aims to simplify the internet search process by making it easier for users. Conversational and concise, ChatGPT filters through various links to answer your questions, all in one spot. This feature intends to curtail time and improve the speed at which we can retrieve information.
However, OpenAI has partnered with news and data providers to keep its search engine updated so that users can access current information. Note that, as with any AI tool, there can be times when a ChatGPT search will produce incorrect or partial results.
Given the global browser market share of traditional search engines like Google Chrome — a whopping 67.53% (Statcounter) — OpenAI’s decision to make ChatGPT search free represents a smart move. As a way to position itself in the search engine space, OpenAI is providing a conversational alternative to searching with traditional methods.
Over time, that potential could also challenge Chrome and the other big names in the market to reshape how users find and engage with information.
