The new ChatGPT Search is here to simplify web searches, bringing real-time, high-quality information directly into your conversations. No longer limited to static responses, ChatGPT now integrates powerful search tools, bridging the gap between casual browsing and precise, well-sourced information. For users, this means less effort navigating multiple sources and more time engaged in learning and discovery. Backed by partnerships with leading news and data providers, ChatGPT Search brings the latest updates from sports, news, stocks, weather, and more right into the chat, fostering a seamless and interactive research experience.
Streamlined Access for Enhanced Productivity
ChatGPT Search combines the convenience of natural language queries with the depth and accuracy of a web search engine. Users can now follow up on their queries with additional questions, where ChatGPT considers context to refine answers. Additionally, source linking is now part of every response, allowing users to dive deeper. With an integrated “Sources” button, users can view references in a sidebar, linking directly to news articles, blog posts, or official sources—bridging the gap between conversational AI and traditional search engines.
An Expanding Audience with New Tools and Partnerships
In a collaborative move with leading publishers, ChatGPT Search broadens the reach of trusted journalism, connecting users to Vox Media, Le Monde, Financial Times, and other media powerhouses. These partnerships ensure that reliable, quality content is available at users’ fingertips while giving media companies new opportunities to reach a global audience. As Pam Wasserstein, President of Vox Media, notes, “ChatGPT search promises to better highlight and attribute information from trustworthy news sources,” making this a win for both publishers and users.
How It Works: ChatGPT Search and What’s Next
Powered by a specialized version of GPT-4, ChatGPT Search uses advanced training techniques, including OpenAI’s proprietary data generation methods and third-party search providers, to source information. The model builds on feedback from the SearchGPT prototype to ensure that responses are as relevant and accurate as possible, with plans to enhance search capabilities for shopping, travel, and more. ChatGPT is also extending this search experience to Advanced Voice, canvas, and, soon, to all Free and logged-out users.
A New Era of Information at Your Fingertips
For a truly personalized and efficient search experience, ChatGPT Search can even be set as the default search engine on Chrome through a simple extension. And for quick access to Google results, users can type !g [your query] right in the URL bar.
With ChatGPT Search, accessing up-to-date, linked information has never been easier. The next time you’re looking for real-time sports updates, market insights, or trustworthy news, turn to ChatGPT for a faster, smarter, and richer search experience.
