OpenAI expands ChatGPT-powered search to all users, challenging Google's dominance

The rollout marks a strategic shift for OpenAI, as it integrates search capabilities directly into ChatGPT rather than launching a standalone product. This move expands access to hundreds of millions of users worldwide. The addition of search also raises further questions about OpenAI’s relationship with Microsoft, a major investor seeking to grow its Bing search engine to compete with Google.
