If you’ve been waiting patiently to try ChatGPT Search, you won’t have to wait much longer if you’re a free user. After rolling out to paid subscribers this fall, OpenAI announced Monday it would make the tool available to everyone, no Plus or Pro membership necessary, “over the coming months.”
At that point, all you need before you can start using ChatGPT Search is an OpenAI account. Once you’re logged in, and if your query calls for it, ChatGPT will automatically search the web for the latest information to answer your question. You can also force it to search the web, thanks to a new icon located right in the prompt bar. OpenAI has also added the option to make ChatGPT Search your browser’s default search engine.
OpenAI announced the expanded availability during its most recent “12 Days of OpenAI” livestream. In previous live streams, the company announced the general availability of Sora and ChatGPT Pro, a new $200 subscription for its chatbot. With four more days to go, it’s hard to see the company topping that announcement, but at this point, OpenAI likely has a surprise or two up its sleeve.
