OpenAI shared an X post revealing that its new ChatGPT Search model is now available to use for everyone. In a new update, the company has removed the sign-in interface, making the search more accessible to users. The post consisted of a screenshot of the ChatGPT Search interface along with a caption that said, “ChatGPT search is now available to everyone on http://chatgpt.com — no sign-up required.” Removing the sign-in interface could be a smart move, as it could become a great alternative to other web browsers. 

Additionally, users who hesitate to sign up for the browser can also take advantage, as they do not have to put in their details, emails, or any other information to use the ChatGPT Search. While the search is available to everyone, some of the features are still limited to users who have signed up for the browser. Therefore, users can not access personalised conversations and memory features. However, the ChatGPT Search can effectively provide users with relevant search options, AI summaries with web sources, images, ratings, map directions, and more.
