What is ChatGPT search?

ChatGPT has introduced new search features in its beta test, called ChatGPT search, which allows users to look up content from external sites and summarize the relevant information. The feature relies on a fine-tuned version of GPT-4o and is currently rolling out to ChatGPT Plus and Team customers. It can search the web and display results on a map for location-dependent queries, as well as show weather, sports scores, and stock prices. The new features are useful but don't replace traditional search engines like Google. ChatGPT's search function is integrated with reputable news organizations and publishers to provide accurate information. Users can also ask follow-up questions and drill deeper into the results. While it's a valuable tool for natural language answers and citing sources, users should still use Google for actual search engine queries.
