OpenAI has introduced a new web search feature within ChatGPT, allowing users to access real-time information directly in the chat interface.
This upgraded ChatGPT search feature delivers quick answers without requiring a separate browser search.
The new functionality provides real-time information on topics such as sports scores, stock prices, breaking news, and more.
Users can activate the search feature in two ways:
- Automatically (based on the type of query)
- Manually (by clicking the web search icon)

Currently, the new feature is available to ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers, as well as users on the SearchGPT waitlist.
A phased rollout to Enterprise and Edu package users will follow over the next few weeks, with free users gaining access in the coming months.
The improved ChatGPT interface aligns with OpenAI’s mission to simplify web search by reducing time spent scrolling through search engine results.
The search feature is accessible on chatgpt.com, as well as in OpenAI’s browser and mobile apps.
ChatGPT also considers prior chat context to offer more nuanced, in-depth responses.
The chat understands search queries in both natural language and voice.
OpenAI’s partners, including news and data aggregators like the Associated Press, Financial Times, Le Monde, and others, now deliver ChatGPT users reliable, up-to-date content across diverse fields.
OpenAI’s partnerships with top publishers are also expected to expand the content reach and enhance discoverability for online creators.
This initiative bridges the gap between traditional and AI-driven search, expanding readership for digital media.
The new search feature is powered by the advanced GPT-4o model and incorporates techniques from OpenAI’s o1-preview model, bringing concepts tested in the SearchGPT prototype to life.
