OpenAI’s Google Search rival, ChatGPT Search, now available for everyone

and Microsoft Bing.

Users can now access ChatGPT search directly through chatgpt.com, where the AI assistant provides web-sourced answers with cited references. The feature uses a fine-tuned version of GPT-4o and leverages partnerships with third-party search providers, including Microsoft Bing, to deliver results.

This marks the final stage in ChatGPT search's broader rollout, which began with its launch to paid subscribers in October 2024, followed by expansion to free account holders in December.

This development could impact Google's search market dominance. Experts predict ChatGPT could capture up to 1% of the search market share with this increased accessibility.
