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.

ChatGPT Search wants to dethrone Google, and it comes impressively close to doing so even if it's a bit flawed and needs refinement.

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.
