• OpenAI has now launched its Google Search competitor.
• Instead of launching a separate product, web search has been integrated into ChatGPT.
• ChatGPT will search the web based on what you ask, but users can also choose to search manually.

Earlier today, we reported that ChatGPT on the web now offers search suggestions when you start typing queries. We mentioned that this change could be in preparation for a wider rollout of SearchGPT. OpenAI has now integrated that web search functionality into ChatGPT, allowing it to better compete against search engines like Google Search and Microsoft Bing.

OpenAI has officially announced the launch of ChatGPT Search. The new AI-powered feature allows ChatGPT to serve up answers with links to relevant web sources. Depending on their queries, users will be able to get up-to-the-minute sports scores, news, stock quotes, and more from news and data providers OpenAI has partnered with. However, users will also be able to search manually if they choose by clicking the web search icon.
