ChatGPT challenges Google with real-time web search
MNP – OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Search, a new feature that brings live internet search capabilities directly into its chatbot, potentially transforming how users seek information online.
Available for ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers—with a planned rollout for free users in the coming months—ChatGPT Search can provide relevant, up-to-date links and sources through simple, conversational questions.
Users now have a manual search option and a “sources” button that organizes citations alongside results for transparent, credible sourcing.
OpenAI has also released a Chrome extension for ChatGPT Search, aiming to streamline access further. Partnering with leading news organizations, including Associated Press, Financial Times, Reuters, and Vox Media, OpenAI has licensed premium reporting to support its search results.
This partnership reflects OpenAI’s commitment to credible, high-quality information—a priority given the demand for trusted sources in a fast-paced media landscape.
