AI search function 'ChatGPT search' finally released to the public, map function also added



On December 17, 2024, OpenAI announced that it has released 'ChatGPT search,' an AI search engine based on ChatGPT, to all users.



ChatGPT search is a feature that was released for paid plan subscribers in October 2024, and uses AI to search for information on the web and summarize the content.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), OpenAI announced, 'ChatGPT search will begin rolling out to all free users starting today. All logged-in users can now search the web in a faster and better way on http://chatgpt.com, our mobile and desktop apps.'

Let's actually try ChatGPT search. First, access ChatGPT , enter a search term in the input field, and click the button in the red frame.



The word 'Search' will then be displayed, so click the '↑' button.



The answer was a summary compiled by AI based on information on the web.



Like Google search, there is also a function that displays trending search terms as suggestions.



OpenAI said, 'Set ChatGPT as your browser's default search engine to quickly access destinations on the web.'



In addition, maps have been added to the mobile app ChatGPT, and when searching for restaurants, etc., the search results are displayed in cooperation with the map app of each OS. At the time of writing, even if you search in Japanese using the app, you cannot get results that look like map searches.
