It's powered by the GPT-4 model family and is planned to integrate into ChatGPT at some point in the future. SearchGPT is OpenAI’s long-awaited answer to...
No. ChatGPT pulls information out of its ass and how I read it SearchGPT actually links to sources (while also summarizing it and pulling information out of it's ass, presumably). ChatGPT "knows" things and SearchGPT should actually look stuff up and present it to you.
From the train dataset that was frozen many years ago. It's like you know something instead of looking it up. It doesn't provide sources, it just makes shit up based on what was in the (old) dataset. That's totally different than looking up the information based on what you know and then using the new information to create an informed answer backed up by sources
This is like saying the library search engine and Bob the drunkard who looked at the shelf labels and swears up and down he knows where everything is are the same thing.
Look, ChatGPT is an averaging machine. Yes it has ingested a significant chunk of the text on the internet, but it does not reproduce text exactly as it found it, it produces an average of all the text it has seen, weighted towards what seems like it make sense for the situation. For really common information this is fine. For niche information, it is bullshitting without any indication.

It's...not remotely the same thing?
It's like saying an engine that searches the web for answers to your query is a search engine...?

Kagi supports this since a while. You can end your query with a question mark to request a "quick answer" generated using an llm, complete with sources and citations. It's surprisingly accurate and useful!
No, its fancy autocomplete at a huge scale. Sometimes it returns correct answers.
A search engine should be taking a list of websites and metadata about those websites and returning results based on some ranking with the original desire being to get you what you wanted. (The current desire is just how much money can be extracted from your hands on the keys)
