Diamond Member Pelican Press 0 Posted February 24, 2025 Diamond Member Share Posted February 24, 2025 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up I replaced This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Search with ChatGPT Search, here’s how you can too While This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up is still the first name you think of when it comes to search engines (RIP Ask Jeeves), there’s a rebellion rising in the shape of AI. We’ve already covered how Perplexity makes a great replacement for This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up (with the usual caveats of checking for accuracy), but OpenAI’s ChatGPT is already enormously popular. In fact, it’s arguably become the poster child for LLMs, with ‘ChatGPT’ becoming a descriptor for an entire field (for better and for worse). With that in mind, ChatGPT has its own search engine, and it’s remarkably simple to use and can be accessed just about anywhere the app can. That, combined with its broader mindshare, might make it the biggest competition This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up has in a field it’s traditionally run unopposed in. Here’s how to swap This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Search for ChatGPT’s alternative, and why you might want to do so. Why ChatGPT could be your next search engine As we covered in our guide to Perplexity AI and how it could replace This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Search, much of the appeal of ChatGPT as a search engine comes down to a different starting position. While This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up has worked to shoehorn as much AI into its search system as it possibly can, the likes of OpenAI have a clean slate. That means it can do just about anything, but searching the web is a neat extra feature. Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more. It doesn’t hurt that the ChatGPT desktop app and web interface are still some of the slickest around, and all it takes to switch to searching the web is to click the ‘globe’ icon. Add in a handy Chrome extension, and ChatGPT can search anywhere This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up can while offering more conversational results that let you ask for additional info, a quick summary, and more. How to make ChatGPT Search your default search engine The following instructions work on Chromium browsers, but you have to have a ChatGPT account to be able to use it. The free account works, though. Open Chrome on your device Click the Extensions icon (the jigsaw piece), or search for Chrome Extensions. Install the ChatGPT Chrome Extension. Simply type into the address bar to search using ChatGPT instead of This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up How to use ChatGPT on your smartphone This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up /applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"> (Image credit: Future) As with Perplexity, you’ll need to visit your app store of choice on iOS or Android to download the ChatGPT app. Doing so gives you the standard chatbot functionality, as well as the option to click the ‘Globe’ to trigger a web search for your results. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up /applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"> (Image credit: Future) I will concede that, while I appreciate the sourcing (and This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up could learn a thing or two), I think I actually prefer Perplexity’s way of rolling out its ‘Related’ as questions that then prompt further chatbot responses. ChatGPT hands over a series of links, which is great, but I like the option to delve deeper and have information from other articles included to add context.
