You must provide a question or search query to Google by speaking into your device — and Google will provide search results in response. You can then ask follow-up questions and Google Search will update in real-time to provide relevant search results for those queries, too.

It’s apparent that Google is scrambling to keep its search engine relevant looking at the sudden surge of AI chatbots. Its most recent threat is OpenAI’s ChatGPT Search which is promising to bring a natural language interface with timely answers and updated query results.

OpenAI's new release is being hyped as a 'Google killer,' but our tests find that ChatGPT search has some work to do before it can top the world's dominant search engine.

OpenAI's search offers a glimpse of what an AI-search interface could one day look like. But it's too impractical as a daily driver right now.

Compare Google and ChatGPT Search to see which suits your needs best. Understand strengths in quick answers, multimedia, local searches, accuracy, and real-time results.

OpenAI says it has signed partnerships with certain news, sports, and weather providers, and generally speaking, ChatGPT search already does a good job here. However, Google still has the edge: It's got its hooks deeper into the web, it covers a broader range of sources, and it presents more information in its results.

ChatGPT Search is being positioned as an alternative to Google Search. It will be available across all ChatGPT platforms -- Android, iOS and desktop apps for Windows and macOS.
