ChatGPT Search

ChatGPT Search (originally SearchGPT) is a search engine developed by OpenAI. It combines traditional search engine features with generative pretrained transformers (GPT) to generate responses, including citations to external websites.

History

On July 25, 2024, SearchGPT was first introduced as a prototype in a limited release to 10,000 test users. This search feature positioned OpenAI as a direct competitor to major search engines, notably Google, Perplexity AI and Bing.

OpenAI announced its partnership with publishers for SearchGPT, providing them with options on how their content appears in the search results and ensuring the promotion of trusted sources.

On October 31, 2024, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Search to ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers, and it was made available to free users in December 2024. OpenAI ultimately incorporated the search features into ChatGPT in December 2024.
