What is SearchGPT?

SearchGPT is a promising prototype developed by OpenAI that is potentially going to change the world of search engines. Whereas traditional search engines such as Google and Bing function by indexing web pages and displaying results based on search terms, SearchGPT works fundamentally differently. This AI model uses language technology to generate answers specific to the user's query, with a strong focus on context and understanding.

Unlike traditional search engines that refer to a list of links, SearchGPT tries to provide direct, human-like answers that contain more depth than you would normally find in a search result. It does not just look for the most popular answer, but tries to understand the onder underlying intent of the question to formulate a valuable answer. This makes it especially effective for complex questions where a simple answer will not suffice.

How does SearchGPT work?

SearchGPT combines a large dataset of web content with the natural language processing capabilities of OpenAI's GPT models. While search engines like Google use crawlers to index web pages and then rank this data for relevance, SearchGPT goes a step further by analysing the search query using AI algorithms. The model does not just try to match words or terms, but interprets the entire sentence and looks for relevant context.

A unique aspect of SearchGPT is that it does not access the internet directly like a search engine. Instead, it bases its answers on the knowledge it has learned from previous datasets, but the model is constantly being improved and extended. While this may make it slightly less suitable for queries about very current events, it still provides a valuable source of information for complex or in-depth queries.

What makes Search GPT unique compared to search engines like Google?

SearchGPT's uniqueness lies in the way it approaches the user's query. Instead of simply presenting a list of web pages as Google does, SearchGPT provides a contextualised answer that directly answers the question. This can be especially useful in situations where the user does not want to search through multiple links, but wants an immediately useful answer.

Some unique features of SearchGPT are:

  1. Deep understanding of context: Whereas search engines focus mainly on search terms, SearchGPT tries to interpret the full sentence and the onder underlying meaning of the query. This leads to more complete and comprehensive answers.
  2. Useful answers zonder clicks: Instead of making the user click through a list of search results, SearchGPT provides immediate answers. This makes the search experience more efficient for many users who want quick access to information zonder having to consult different sources.
  3. Machine learning-based answer formation: Instead of algorithmically ranking search results, SearchGPT generates machine learning-based answers that take more account of nuance and context, making it especially strong in more complex searches.

Advantages of SearchGPT compared to search engines

SearchGPT offers users some interesting advantages over traditional search engines. These advantages make the model especially suitable for specific applications where speed and completeness are important:

  1. Fast, complete answers: Search engines are designed to direct users to sources where they can find their answers. SearchGPT removes that intermediate step by providing immediate, actionable answers right away. This can save time, especially when there is no need for extensive searches.
  2. Less reliance on search skills: Search engines like Google sometimes require you to optimise your query with the right keywords. With SearchGPT, you need to think less about the wording of your query because the model is better able to understand the context of your query.
  3. Complex questions processed better: Search engines can struggle to process very complex or specific queries, as they only look for words that appear in the query. SearchGPT can correctly interpret the entire query and provide an answer that covers all aspects of the query.

Limitations of Searchgpt compared to search engines

While SearchGPT is promising, there are also some limitations to consider. This is because the model is still under development and there are some key differences from traditional search engines that users should keep in mind:

  1. No real-time access to current data: Whereas search engines like Google constantly search the web for the latest information, SearchGPT is tied to the dataset it is trained with. This means it may not be able to provide the most up-to-date answers, especially when it comes to very recent developments.
  2. Lack of source citation: Search engines allow users to consult different sources and decide for themselves which information is reliable. SearchGPT provides an answer zonder that it always refers directly to the source. This can be problematic for users who want to check the reliability of information.
  3. Less suitable for simple searches: If you enter a simple query such as "weather in Amsterdam", a traditional search engine may be faster and more efficient, as you get instant access to the most relevant sources. SearchGPT excels more in complex queries where a short answer is not enough.

Why Searchgpt is a complement, not a replacement

While SearchGPT offers interesting possibilities, especially in handling complex queries, it remains unlikely to completely replace traditional search engines. Search engines like Google have developed proven algorithms and systems to give users quick access to the most relevant and reliable information. While SearchGPT offers a new, more human way of generating answers, it does not yet have full coverage for all types of queries.SearchGPT is therefore a complement to search engines rather than a replacement. Especially for users who want quick answers zonder the intermediate step of links, it can be a valuable addition to their daily search for information. As technology evolves, it may become an important onder part of how we search for and use information.

Whether it's about content or technical adjustments, it doesn't matter. Martijn briefs this in a very clear way so that it can be implemented locally or by our head office in France. [...] Since the start of our collaboration, we have achieved great results. Keep it up!

Marien van Stegeren

Eigenaar Kitcentrum

When your online onder venture grows, expectations often grow too, in every area. To a large extent, we were in control of SEO and its interpretation ourselves. We found out that our own "general view" was no longer sufficient, so we engaged Bureau Onder. Surprising and clear. We have built up a fine collaboration, partly because Martijn also regularly visits our office with Eline or Mariska (depending on the case), which is very valuable to us!

Marten Stellingwerf

Webmaster

Martijn and Mariska make the SEO story understandable for the layman and are happy to think along with us. It is nice that there is a personal contact moment every month with an extensive report and the opportunity to talk everything through. After just a few months, Onder has already managed to achieve number 1 positions on Google with some of our webshop pages. We are very satisfied with Onder.
