On day eight of the company's 12-day feature shipping schedule, OpenAI reportedly built its own search engine to reduce reliance on third-party search engines and circumvent issues relating to web crawling.

Once s open ChatGPT, whether on the web or mobile apps, they will see a new globe icon next to the ‘Attach file' icon in the text field. Tapping the icon activates the web search mode, and the AI only sources data from the web instead of its pretraining and post-training knowledge base. While s can manually activate it, OpenAI highlighted that it will trigger automatically for relevant questions.

This ChatGPT Feature Will Let You Organise Chats With Shared Topic

ChatGPT Search can skim through multiple websites for a query and process information from all of them to present the response in natural language. The feature also shows the source of the information in two ways. After every sentence, wherever the information was used, an icon highlights the particular source. The list of sources is also mentioned at the bottom of the response.

In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), the official handle of OpenAI also highlighted that the ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro s will also be able to use Search with Advanced Voice mode. This will be rolled out over the next week.

Additionally, OpenAI also announced that it is adding maps to ChatGPT in the mobile apps. With this, s can search for and chat about local restaurants, businesses, and places of attraction. The AI firm claimed that the information displayed on the map will be kept up-to-date.
