Openai has announced that the Chatgpt search facility is now available to all at Chatgpt.com. To use the feature, users no longer need to sign in. So far, to use the convenience, when users opened Chatgpt.com, they needed to sign up through Google, Apple or Microsoft account. However, the company has now abolished that step in the process of using the facility. Responding to the announcement posted by Openai on X, the company’s CEO Sam Altman jokingly wrote: “Khoj Great again”.

Openai launched the CHATGPT search feature in November last year. However, it was then limited to only paid users. But at the time of writing the story, this feature was available to all, including using the unpaid version. We checked both the web and mobile app, and the search feature was available in the standard Chatgpt version.

The Chatgpt search feature was first tested as Searchgpt. However, in November 2024, Openai launched it as a feature called Khoj. Openai describes it as a tool for rapid, timely reply to questions shared on chat, supported with links of relevant web sources. So far, for some questions that required web discovery, users still need to switch to Google or some other browser for information. There are limitations of the dataset of Chatgpt in itself, and it may not always be accurate -an app also warns about it.

But with the search feature, based on the query you asked, Chatgpt will search for you, or you can choose to use the search feature by clicking on the web icon that shows that showing just below the text box. “This (chatgpt discovery) mixes the benefits of a natural language interface with an up-to-date sports score, news, stock quotes and more,” Openi said about this feature at the time of launch. With this, the possibility of accuracy of information increased. However, you should still verify it at your end.

It is also that the chatgate search feat was seen as a direct contestant for Google at the time of launch, especially working on his own AI search tool with the news of Google.

The Chatgpt Search is powered by an enhanced version of the GPT-4 model of Openai. In addition to finding the web for you, the feature allows users to ask follow -up questions in search mode to refine their discoveries.
