OpenAI’s ChatGPT Search now provides live internet results, bringing the latest information to your ChatGPT responses. This update makes ChatGPT even more useful for up-to-date queries, perfect for news, trends, and other time-sensitive topics.
In this article, we’ll see how to set up a search shortcut in Arc or Chrome for easy ChatGPT access.
In Chrome
Chrome is one of the most popular browsers, and it’s easy to set up a search shortcut for ChatGPT.
First, you can simply install the ChatGPT Search extension from the Chrome Web Store. Once installed, you can use the extension to search ChatGPT directly from your browser’s search bar.
However, this will override the Chrome address and search bar to use only ChatGPT. So, whatever you type there will be sent to ChatGPT. If you want to keep the default search engine and use ChatGPT only when you need it, you can set up a custom search engine in Chrome.
- Go to the Settings menu in Chrome
- Navigate to Search Engine > Manage search engines and site search
Under the Site search section, add a new search engine, and fill in the details as follows:
- Name: ChatGPT
- Shortcut:
@chatgpt
- URL:
https://chatgpt.com/?hints=search&q=%s
Once the ChatGPT search is added, you can type in the shortcut and hit Tab. This will change the search bar to the ChatGPT input field. You can now type your ChatGPT query, which will direct the tab with the response from ChatGPT.
In Arc
Arc has been my favorite browser for a while now. It is based on Chrome with some added great features that allow you to better organize your browsing experience in Arc.
One of my favorite features is the Command Bar with the Command / Control + T shortcut. It is similar to the Command Palette in VS Code, but for the browser. You can use it to search, navigate, and perform actions in the browser.
By default, the Command Bar is set to use Google search. But you can change it to use ChatGPT for your searches. Here’s how:
- Go to the Settings menu in Arc
- Navigate to Max tab section
- Toggle on the ChatGPT in the Command Bar option
Once you have it enabled, launch the Command Bar, type “ChatGPT” and hit Tab. This will change the Command Bar to the ChatGPT prompt. You can now type your query, which will open a new Arc Browser tab with the response and result from ChatGPT.
Wrapping up
With these simple steps, you can easily set up ChatGPT search in Chrome and Arc Browser. This makes it convenient to access ChatGPT for quick queries and responses without leaving your browser. Enjoy the seamless integration of ChatGPT with your browsing experience!
