OpenAI has launched a new Chrome extension that allows direct access to ChatGPT Search. This service revolutionizes online search by providing structured answers through analysis of sources on the Internet.
Replacing Google with ChatGPT on Chrome
To set ChatGPT as the default search engine, you need to download the ChatGPT Search extension developed by OpenAI. Once installed, the extension requires two permissions to modify Chrome’s search settings. Users can then make their queries directly from the address bar.
Accessing ChatGPT Search Results
Results are displayed on the ChatGPT interface, enriched by the mention of the sites used. A button labeled “Sources” allows access to a list of web pages related to the query.
Returning to Google
If the result is unsatisfactory, it is possible to refine the search on ChatGPT Search. To return to Google, several options are available to users:
- Start the query in the address bar with !g so that it is processed by Google.
- Go directly to the Google interface by entering google.fr in the address bar.
- Disable or remove the ChatGPT Search extension to no longer interfere with the default search engine.
OpenAI claims that its research technologies are now more effective than ever. Partnerships with various media aim to ensure a high level of quality for the consulted sources.
