OpenAI has made a big update to ChatGPT Search—now, anyone can use it without needing to sign in or create an account. Previously, this feature was available only to paid users and later to all logged-in free users. But with this new change, anyone can access it instantly.
ChatGPT Search allows users to get quick answers from the web, along with links to relevant sources. Most of the time, ChatGPT will automatically search online for the latest information. However, users can also manually activate a search by clicking the "Search" button below the chat bar. This makes it easy to find up-to-date and reliable information in seconds.

With this move, OpenAI is stepping up its competition with Google Search. The company has been rolling out several updates, including a new AI model and a feature called Deep Research, which helps users dive deeper into complex topics. OpenAI even introduced a fresh new logo as part of its recent changes.
By removing the login requirement, OpenAI is making ChatGPT Search more accessible to everyone. This update could change the way people look for information online, making AI-driven search a bigger part of everyday life. 🚀
