ChatGPT Search, OpenAI’s AI-powered search feature, is now available to all ChatGPT users, including non-subscribers. It enhances the search experience by providing synthesized answers from multiple online sources, images, videos, and company information.
Key Points:
- ChatGPT Search is now accessible to all users, not just premium subscribers.
- The feature integrates summarized answers, visuals and videos for a more comprehensive search.
- ChatGPT Search can be used as the default search engine in browsers and mobile devices.
- The advanced voice search mode allows you to access up-to-date information on mobile and desktop devices.
OpenAI recently expanded the availability of ChatGPT Search, its AI-powered web search tool, to all ChatGPT users, including those who are not subscribed to premium plans. This evolution of the functionality, which was introduced in prototype form earlier this year, represents a significant step in refining the platform’s online search capabilities. The system uses an optimized version of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, with the goal of providing concise and relevant answers from a variety of online sources. ChatGPT Search not only returns written information, but also enriches the search experience with visual content such as images and videos, including links to YouTube videos. Additionally, the search goes beyond simple answers to include useful information such as sports scores, the latest news, and stock prices, with direct links to the original sources to allow users to dig deeper. One of the most welcome additions is the ability to view synthesized answers from multiple sources, making the search experience faster and more comprehensive. Users can also choose to activate the "Search the web" function through a new icon in the ChatGPT interface, which makes it even easier to direct a specific query to ChatGPT Search.
Another important update concerns speed and usability. ChatGPT Search has been improved to respond more quickly, increasing the efficiency of searches. In addition, users now have the option to configure ChatGPT Search as the default search engine for their browsers, both on desktop and mobile devices. On mobile, information is organized even more clearly, with visible business details, including addresses (in Apple Maps for iOS users) and phone numbers. These improvements are intended to make search even more intuitive and accessible. In particular, for mobile users, the ability to use ChatGPT Search in advanced voice mode allows access to real-time responses even during conversations, providing always up-to-date information quickly and dynamically. This feature is available on both desktop and mobile devices, offering continuity in the user experience.
Despite the excitement over the new capabilities, the introduction of ChatGPT Search has raised concerns among some publishers, who fear that the spread of synthesized answers could reduce traffic to their websites. In fact, one study found that AI search tools like ChatGPT Search and others like it could significantly reduce the number of clicks on links to original content, potentially penalizing publishers and affecting their business. OpenAI, however, has listened to feedback from its partners and made changes to the way it selects the most relevant sources and generates summaries, trying to balance the quality of the information and respect for the original sources.
With the introduction of ChatGPT Search to all users and the continuous improvements in its speed and functionality, OpenAI seems oriented to consolidate this tool as one of the most advanced search tools, capable of integrating AI with the daily needs of users.
