Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETThe biggest benefit of using an AI chatbot is being able to input and receive conversational queries. Combine that with real-time access to the Internet, and you have a more efficient search engine. That’s exactly what ChatGPT Search is — and now you can make it your default search engine. With ChatGPT Search, your results look similar to those of the standard ChatGPT chatbot. The major differences are that it includes in-line citations to websites, a button that says “sources,” which, when clicked, will populate a long list of links on the right, and a couple of search result links underneath the answer. Also: ChatGPT has officially replaced Google Search for me – here’s whyChatGPT Search can be accessed through the regular ChatGPT interface as long as you are a ChatGPT Plus or Teams subscriber or were on the waitlist for SearchGPT. If you have access to ChatGPT Search and are ready to commit to always using ChatGPT instead of Google, you can do so by installing the free Chrome extension. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman calls the feature “really good” and encourages users to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20 per month and comes with other perks such as the new Voice Mode, Canvas, and unlimited image generation, and download the Chrome Extension. hey i’m really sorry to keep hyping our own product but you really should get chatgpt plus and install the chrome extension for searchi am cheerfully the first to admit when we ship something that isn’t very good, but this time it’s…really good— Sam Altman (@sama) November 1, 2024

If you are ready to make the switch, it’s easy. All you have to do is visit this link, which will take you to the ChatGPT Search page on the Chrome web store. If you are already in ChatGPT, you can also click on your profile in the upper right-hand corner and click on the option “Download Chrome extension,” which will take you to the same page.  More
