- Chatgpt -Search no longer requires an Openai account
- You can access the AI search engine for free without logging in
- Chatgpt -Search allows you to browse the web directly from the world’s most popular chatbot
Chatgpt -Search is now available to everyone, whether you are signed in an Openai account or not.
Openai announced the big update about X that brought chatgpt to the masses without creating an account or giving any personal information to the world leaders in AI.
Chatgpt Search is a search engine driven by, you guess it, chatgpt. It allows you to quickly search the web the same way you would with Google search, but get more in-depth results and summary along with sources. Openai says “Chatgpt can search the web and get you quick, timely answers with links to relevant web sources directly in chatgpt. Chatgpt chooses to search the web based on what you are asking for, or you can manually choose to search by clicking The web search in the icon.
Until now, Chatgpt -Search was completely free to use, but you had to log in to an Openai account before you could look up anything. Now users can use it just by accessing chatgpt.com.
This is an excellent addition to Chatgpt, which has been free to use without an Openai account for a while and could be the turning point for AI search engines as more and more people are looking for Google alternatives.
Chatgpt Search will roll out to logged users over the next few days, so if you don’t see the search icon under your prompt today, try again tomorrow!

Is it time to ditch Google search?
Chatgpt Search is built into chatgpt and wants to make AI Chatbot your go-to for all your information. Earlier, Chatgpt would have a knowledge cutting date that meant you couldn’t ask for information about things that happened in the world at the time of your prompt. With Chatgpt search that has changed completely and Chatgpt can now give you up to date on everything from world politics to the latest sports results.
Google search is ingrained in society, most of the world’s population with internet access use Google daily if not an hourly basis. Openai’s alternative is an excellent option for those who want more from a search engine, but I find myself choosing to use my credible ‘Buddy Google more often than Chatgpt -searching, though not so knowledgeable.
The joy of the Internet is to curate your own sources and choose where you will get information from. As it stands, Chatgpt Search’s approach doesn’t really work for me as I want control over what I eat and having a summary from multiple sources doesn’t always give me it. Chatgpt search is still in its infant, and it is bound to improve over time. If you haven’t ever tried an AI-run search engine before, there has never been a better time. But is it time to ditch Google search? I’m not convinced.
