The first version of ChatGPT, with only a chatbot interface and limited knowledge of the training data, was already a threat to Google. But now, OpenAI is offering a new product called ChatGPT search. Announced on October 31, ChatGPT search is a mix of AI chatbots and search engines, which will allow you to find information from the web, on ChatGPT. In other words, thanks to this feature, ChatGPT becomes a direct competitor to Google's search engine.

“ChatGPT can now search the web in a much more efficient way than before. You can get quick and timely answers with links to relevant web sources, which previously required going to a search engine,”, we can read in the announcement of this new feature. And to make it easy to access on Google Chrome, OpenAI has even released an extension that allows you to replace Google with ChatGPT search on the browser’s address bar.
By default, when you enter a keyword in the Chrome address bar, you are redirected to Google search results. However, if you install the ChatGPT search extension, your searches will be performed on ChatGPT. Those who want to use ChatGPT search instead of Google will no longer need to open the ChatGPT website or app to find answers on ChatGPT search.

A feature that is still only available to paying users (and users on the waiting list)

Currently, OpenAI's Chrome extension already has over 200,000 users. However, it is important to note that ChatGPT search is not available to all ChatGPT users. For now, access to this Google competitor is only available to users of the paid ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Team subscriptions, as well as to people who have signed up to the OpenAI waiting list. However, the company has already announced that ChatGPT search will also be available to users of the free version, later.

Google: the response is already being rolled out

For its part, Google has developed a feature called AI Overview, which offers answers generated by generative AI, and a chatbot-like experience, in response to certain user queries. And recently, Google announced the deployment of this feature in more than 100 countries. But for the moment, the list of countries concerned does not include countries in the European Union (probably because Google still has to ensure its compliance with EU rules).

• OpenAI has launched ChatGPT search, a product that is in search of the web, like Google
• And it also offers a Chrome extension that allows you to replace Google with ChatGPT search on the address bar
• But, for now, ChatGPT search is only available to users of the paid version of ChatGPT and to those who have signed up to the OpenAI waiting list
• Google already offers a new version of its search engine that provides answers generated by generative AI to certain queries, but this new feature is not yet available in the European Union
