Goodbye Google? How to use ChatGPT’s new web search.

OpenAI's ChatGPT web search is now available to all users, starting with ChatGPT Plus subscribers ($20/month). This powerful tool challenges Google Search by providing concise, summarized answers from web searches, complete with source links. Unlike traditional ChatGPT, it actively searches the web for up-to-date information, minimizing the risk of "hallucinations" (fabricated information). However, users should still critically evaluate the sources provided.

ChatGPT's web search utilizes a familiar interface. Simply type your query, and the AI will determine whether to use its existing knowledge base or conduct a web search. Forcing a web search is possible via a globe icon in the input box.

The tool integrates well with various data providers for weather, sports, stocks, news, and maps. Standard ChatGPT features like feedback (thumbs up/down), copy/paste, text-to-speech, and chat archiving remain.

Google's recent integration of AI into its search engine has had mixed results, but ChatGPT aims to avoid similar pitfalls by clearly displaying source links. A "Sources" button reveals all referenced websites, allowing users to verify information independently.

Our tests demonstrate ChatGPT's ability to provide reliable information across various topics, including music, sports, food, and DIY, with appropriate source links and even embedded YouTube videos. It correctly identified the dangers of putting glue on pizza, highlighting a previous Google Search failure with this query.

For a seamless experience, a browser extension is available for Chrome, Edge, and Chromium-based browsers, effectively replacing your default search engine with ChatGPT.
