OpenAI strikes a big blow by integrating a search engine into ChatGPT, allowing users to obtain structured answers based on verified sources.
No more need to juggle between different tabs or search engines: ChatGPTas an integrated search engine, promises to offer an optimized and more precise experience.
An extension to replace Google with ChatGPT Search
Google Chrome users can now directly access ChatGPT Search from their address bar, by downloading a dedicated extension. Once installed, this extension changes the default search engine to perform all queries directly on ChatGPT Search. The objective? Revolutionize the way we search for information, by offering an alternative to Google that aims to be more efficient and direct.
Enriched results based on reliable sources
The interface of ChatGPT presents the answers in a structured way, with the possibility of accessing the sources used via the “Sources” button. Each response is accompanied by a list of sites that provided the analysis, allowing users to verify and deepen the information. OpenAI has collaborated with various media outlets to ensure increased reliability, guaranteeing response quality that could overshadow traditional search engines.
Flexibility and return to Google
ChatGPT Search aims to be a flexible tool. If the proposed answer does not completely satisfy the user, it is still possible to refine the search directly in the ChatGPT interface. For those who prefer to consult Googlea simple “!g” command in the address bar allows you to temporarily switch to the Google engine for a specific query. It is also easy to revert to the original search engine by disabling or removing the ChatGPT Search extension.
A threat to Google?
OpenAI’s ambition is clear: to offer a search engine that is not only intuitive, but also relevant and enriched, transforming ChatGPT into a real competitor. Thanks to its immersive interface and its simplified access via Chrome, ChatGPT Search could quickly attract a large audience, in particular those looking for a more personalized and effective alternative than Google.
With this integration, OpenAI marks a turning point in online search and lays the foundations for a new era where information is analyzed, structured and enriched according to user needs. If the quality and precision of the results are confirmed, ChatGPT could well establish itself as a key player in the digital landscape, with a model that combines the power of artificial intelligence with the simplicity of one-click search.
