OpenAI has begun limited testing of real-time web search capabilities directly within ChatGPT, raising fresh questions about the future of search engines. Early user reports reveal that ChatGPT is now surfacing and summarizing web content in real time, bypassing traditional search result formats.
The move signals OpenAI’s ambition to position ChatGPT not just as an assistant, but as a fully capable search interface—one that answers, cites, and reasons in a conversational flow. Insiders suggest this could eventually disrupt how users interact with information online, challenging Google’s dominance in informational queries.
If real-time search becomes widely available, ChatGPT may evolve from a productivity tool into a knowledge gateway—blending LLMs with live data for a completely new search experience.
