ChatGPT Search Goes Public: No Login Required

ChatGPT Search is Now Available Without Authorization

OpenAI has made its ChatGPT Search engine accessible to all users without the need for registration or authorization. Previously, this feature was available only to paid subscribers, but now anyone can use it for free.

How Does ChatGPT Search Work?

The new AI-powered search engine is based on the GPT-4o model and can provide fast and relevant answers using information from various web sources. This makes it a competitor to major search engines like Google and Bing. ChatGPT Search analyzes queries, generates concise responses, and provides links to original sources, helping users find the information they need quickly (The Verge).

New Features and Limitations

Along with this launch, OpenAI has introduced an official Google Chrome extension, allowing users to set ChatGPT Search as their default search engine. However, it is important to note that access to the search engine is only available from countries where ChatGPT is officially supported (Infocity.tech).

How Does ChatGPT Search Outperform Traditional Search Engines?

  • Fast and relevant answers – the search engine instantly generates a concise AI-powered response.
  • Direct source links – unlike traditional search engines, ChatGPT Search immediately provides key sources.
  • No ads – the search experience is currently ad-free, making it more user-friendly.

OpenAI continues to develop ChatGPT Search, making it more accessible and convenient for users. The question remains: can it become a serious competitor to Google and Bing in the long run?
