OpenAI has updated the search system in ChatGPT and reports that, based on internal testing, users prefer the enhanced search features. With these improvements, the chatbot’s responses have become more logical, comprehensive, and intelligent.
The updated search model can process longer conversation contexts, allowing it to provide more accurate and detailed answers to complex queries. The system follows user instructions more closely, especially in lengthy conversations, reducing repetitive responses. For difficult questions, ChatGPT automatically performs multiple searches to deliver the most complete information.
Additionally, ChatGPT can now search the internet using images—users can upload images directly through the chat window. This feature further enriches the user experience.
After the update, responses have become longer and more thorough, and the search interface has been redesigned to be more functional and user-friendly. Some minor bugs still exist; for example, users may occasionally see detailed reasoning even for simple queries, but OpenAI says these issues will be fixed soon.
OpenAI also reminds users to remain cautious and double-check the AI’s answers, as it can still make mistakes.
These updates represent an important step in OpenAI’s efforts to make ChatGPT a more powerful and reliable tool, marking a new phase in the development of AI-based services.
