ChatGPT's search capability has expanded to index hundreds of millions of new pages. This enhancement was achieved through a pilot program involving Cloudflare's network signals, which assisted OpenAI in indexing the additional web content.
Cloudflare reported that its network signals were instrumental in this expansion of ChatGPT's search index.
