On Wednesday, OpenAI announced that anyone can now use ChatGPT's search engine capability. ChatGPT search used to require users to have an account, but this requirement has since been lifted.

The ChatGPT website, as well as the desktop and mobile apps, offer ChatGPT Search. You can start a search by asking a question or by clicking the web search icon in the ChatGPT interface.
With ChatGPT Search, you can ask a question using conversational language and get web information, along with more details through follow-up questions. ChatGPT maintains context, so the entire conversation can be used to get a tailored answer to a query.
A recent update to ChatGPT's search engine gives it a more traditional feel, showing a map, photos of local attractions, and brief descriptions for each result. If you're tired of Google's algorithms, it might be worth a try. OpenAI has partnered with news and data providers to offer up-to-date information for categories like weather, stocks, sports, news, and maps. ChatGPT searches include links to sources, and a sources button below the response provides a sidebar with all of the references used.
