OpenAI makes ChatGPT search feature public

OpenAI has announced that ChatGPT's web search feature is now available to everyone at chatgpt.com, without the need for sign-up or account log-in. This feature, introduced to free-tier users in December, allows ChatGPT to access real-time web information with a natural language interface, offering updates on sports, news, and more, while enabling conversational follow-up queries. Users can initiate a search automatically or manually through the web search icon, with results displayed in a new visual interface featuring links to sources and enhanced information presentation.
