Resolution criteria

ChatGPT search became available to everyone in regions where ChatGPT is available as of February 5, 2025. This market resolves YES if OpenAI makes a "Search" feature the default interface for ChatGPT before July 1, 2026—meaning users encounter search as the primary or only option when accessing ChatGPT, rather than as an optional tool within the chat interface.

Resolution will be determined by checking OpenAI's official announcements, ChatGPT's interface at chatgpt.com, and the ChatGPT mobile/desktop apps. The feature must replace the default chat interface (not coexist as a secondary option) to resolve YES.

Background

SearchGPT, a prototype search engine, was unveiled on July 25, 2024, with an initial limited release to 10,000 test users. ChatGPT search became available to all logged-in users in December 2024, and then to everyone in February 2025. Currently, search functions as a tool within ChatGPT's chat interface—users can manually trigger it or ChatGPT automatically searches when appropriate, but the default experience remains conversational chat.

Considerations

The question hinges on whether OpenAI will fundamentally restructure ChatGPT's interface architecture. Currently, search is integrated into chat rather than replacing it. A full replacement would represent a significant product pivot and could affect user workflows that rely on the current chat-first design.
