For a while now, Google has been the dominant player in search engines, handling almost every search worldwide. But lately, it’s been seriously challenged by Microsoft’s Bing, which got a boost from ChatGPT[1] in its AI chatbot department. Now, with OpenAI stepping up, Google might have more competition than ever. Rumors about OpenAI working on its own search engine have been floating around[2], and it looks like it’s about to become a reality in less than a week.
There are new rumors going around that OpenAI[3] might unveil its own search engine as early as May 9, just a couple of days before Google’s big developer conference kicks off. Ashutosh Shrivastava over at X (formerly Twitter) posted a screenshot suggesting that OpenAI has been busy with SSL certificate logs, hinting at a domain called search.chatgpt.com (via Search Engine Roundtable[4]).
When you navigate to the subdomain in your browser, you’re greeted with a “Not found” message. This just adds to speculation that ChatGPT[5]‘s search engine could indeed be in the pipeline. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s homepage[6] is undergoing a major makeover, with search taking the spotlight.
