They can handle natural language questions better, allowing them to understand what you mean and deliver results that match what you\u2019re really looking for.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/hero.jpg\" alt=\"OpenAI vs  Perplexity AI\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\"><\/figure>\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll compare how OpenAI with its <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/introducing-chatgpt-search\/\">ChatGPT Search<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/introducing-chatgpt-search\/\">Perplexity AI<\/a> handle different types of searches: navigational, informational, transactional, local, and news and real-time.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Pre-requisites<\/h2>\n<p>Because OpenAI is not naturally a search engine, I recommend setting up OpenAI Search in your browser. Check out our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/use-chatgpt-in-chrome-arc-browser\/\">How to Use ChatGPT Directly in Chrome and Arc Browser<\/a>. This will allow you to use OpenAI Search directly in your browser, making it easier to access and use. Once you have that set up, we can get started.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>1. Navigational Searches<\/h2>\n<p>Navigational searches are when you\u2019re looking for a specific website or page. For example, you might search for <strong><em>\u201cFacebook login\u201d<\/em><\/strong> or <strong><em>\u201cCNN homepage.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> These searches are straightforward, and the best search engine will show the exact page you\u2019re looking for at the top of the results. In this case, I searched for <strong><em>\u201cFacebook login\u201d<\/em><\/strong> on both OpenAI Search and Perplexity AI to see which one gives the best results.<\/p>\n<h3>ChatGPT<\/h3>\n<p>When I search for <strong><em>\u201cFacebook login\u201d<\/em><\/strong> on OpenAI Search, it appears to be more conversational and provides a brief summary of how to log in to the page from both the browser and the mobile version. It also provides a link to the Facebook login page, which is not quite what I expected. I was hoping for a direct link to the login page.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/navigation-search-open-ai.jpg\" alt=\"OpenAI Search navigation result for Facebook login\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Perplexity AI<\/h3>\n<p>When I search for <strong><em>\u201cFacebook login\u201d<\/em><\/strong> on Perplexity AI, it provides a direct link to the Facebook login page at the very top, much like what you see on a traditional search engine like Google. It also provides a brief summary at the bottom, along with some related results like image and video options.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/navigation-search-perplexity-ai.jpg\" alt=\"Perplexity AI navigation result for Facebook login\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Result<\/h3>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Perplexity AI<\/p>\n<p>I think Perplexity AI is better for navigational searches because it provides a direct link to the page I\u2019m looking for at the top of the results. The brief summary is not quite necessary since I\u2019m already familiar with the page I\u2019m looking for.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>2. Informational Searches<\/h2>\n<p>Informational searches are when you\u2019re looking for information on a specific topic. For example, you might search for something common like <strong><em>\u201cwhat is the capital of Indonesia\u201d<\/em><\/strong> or a more complex query like <strong><em>\u201chow to make doughnuts.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> In this case, I tried <strong><em>\u201chow to make doughnuts\u201d<\/em><\/strong> to see which search engine provides the best results.<\/p>\n<h3>ChatGPT<\/h3>\n<p>When I searched for <strong><em>\u201chow to make doughnuts\u201d<\/em><\/strong> on OpenAI Search, it provided a recipe for making doughnuts, citing multiple sources. However, it lacked details on the exact measurements for ingredients. For example, how many tablespoons of sugar do I need?<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/informational-search-open-ai.jpg\" alt=\"OpenAI informational result for doughnut recipe\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Perplexity AI<\/h3>\n<p>Perplexity AI provided a more detailed recipe, including two options with exact measurements for ingredients and more comprehensive instructions. It also included a YouTube video tutorial, which was a nice touch.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/informational-search-perplexity-ai.jpg\" alt=\"Perplexity AI informational result for doughnut recipe\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Result<\/h3>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Perplexity AI<\/p>\n<p>Perplexity AI is better for informational searches. It understands what I\u2019m looking for and provides more detailed information on how to make doughnuts.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>3. Transactional Searches<\/h2>\n<p>Transactional searches are when you\u2019re looking to buy something or complete a transaction. For example, you might search for <strong><em>\u201cbuy iPhone 13\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>\u201cbook a flight to Paris\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, or <strong><em>\u201cI want to upgrade my working desk. Help me find all I need to buy.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> I tried the latter to see which engine performs better.<\/p>\n<h3>Result<\/h3>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Tie<\/p>\n<p>Both ChatGPT and Perplexity AI provide similar results. They list items and offer summaries of what I might need to upgrade my working desk.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/transactional-search-open-ai.jpg\" alt=\"OpenAI transactional result for desk upgrade\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text su-image-caption\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"min-height:34px;padding-left:36px;color:#333333\">\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text-icon\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:24px;width:24px;height:24px\"><i class=\"sui sui-photo\" style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333333\"><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text-content su-u-trim\" style=\"color:#333333\">Search result in ChatGPT<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;height:0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/transactional-search-perplexity-ai.jpg\" alt=\"Perplexity AI transactional result for desk upgrade\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text su-image-caption\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"min-height:34px;padding-left:36px;color:#333333\">\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text-icon\" style=\"color:#333333;font-size:24px;width:24px;height:24px\"><i class=\"sui sui-photo\" style=\"font-size:24px;color:#333333\"><\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"sue-icon-text-content su-u-trim\" style=\"color:#333333\">Search result in Perplexity AI<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear:both;height:0\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Perplexity AI recently announced a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/perplexity_ai\/status\/1858556244891758991\">Pro Search<\/a> feature that aims to enhance the buying experience, but it\u2019s not widely available yet. For now, both are equally good.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>4. Local Searches<\/h2>\n<p>Local searches are when you\u2019re looking for businesses or services near you. For example, you might search for <strong><em>\u201cJapanese restaurants near me\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>\u201cdentist in Singapore\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, or <strong><em>\u201cgas stations open now.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> In this case, I tried <strong><em>\u201cJapanese restaurants near me\u201d<\/em><\/strong> to see which search engine gives the best results.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\">Local search relies on being able to identify your current location. It is recommended that you enable the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/chrome\/answer\/142065?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop\">browser Location permission from the Settings<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>ChatGPT<\/h3>\n<p>When I searched for <strong><em>\u201cJapanese restaurants near me\u201d<\/em><\/strong> on OpenAI Search, it provided a list of Japanese restaurants that were not actually near me. For instance, it suggested restaurants in <strong><em>\u201cSan Jose\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, even though I was nowhere near that area.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/local-search-open-ai.jpg\" alt=\"OpenAI local search result for Japanese restaurants\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Perplexity AI<\/h3>\n<p>Perplexity AI initially showed similar results to OpenAI Search. It suggested restaurants near <strong><em>\u201cNew Delhi\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, which was also incorrect. However, after enabling location permission in my browser, it accurately displayed Japanese restaurants near me. What\u2019s even better is that it included brief details about the restaurants, such as whether they allow dine-in or take-out, the price range, and options like Halal food. It also showed related results, including a map and menu pictures, which was very helpful.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/local-search-perplexity-ai.jpg\" alt=\"Perplexity AI local search result for Japanese restaurants\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Result<\/h3>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Perplexity AI<\/p>\n<p>Perplexity AI clearly wins this round with its accurate location-based results and additional helpful details.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>5. News and Realtime Searches<\/h2>\n<p>News and real-time searches are when you\u2019re looking for the latest information on a topic. For example, you might search for <strong><em>\u201cTesla stock price today\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, <strong><em>\u201cwhat\u2019s the result of the election today\u201d<\/em><\/strong>, or <strong><em>\u201cwhat the weather will be like today.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> In this case, I searched for <strong><em>\u201cTesla stock price today\u201d<\/em><\/strong> to see which engine performs better.<\/p>\n<h3>ChatGPT<\/h3>\n<p>ChatGPT yields okay results. It shows the current price of Tesla stock, which seems accurate, along with a brief summary of how the company is performing in general.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/realtime-search-open-ai.jpg\" alt=\"OpenAI realtime search result for Tesla stock price\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Perplexity AI<\/h3>\n<p>Perplexity AI provides a more detailed result. It shows the current price of Tesla stock along with an interactive chart. The chart allows you to view the stock\u2019s price at different times of the day, adding a layer of functionality that ChatGPT does not offer.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/openai-vs-perplexity-ai-search\/realtime-search-perplexity-ai.jpg\" alt=\"Perplexity AI realtime search result for Tesla stock price with interactive chart\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Result<\/h3>\n<p class=\"note\"><strong>Winner:<\/strong> Perplexity AI<\/p>\n<p>Perplexity AI is better for news and real-time searches, thanks to its detailed results and interactive features.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Perplexity AI is the winner in 4 out of 5 categories that we explored here. It\u2019s better for navigational, informational, local, and news and real-time searches. If the Pro Search feature becomes available to all users, it might also outperform in transactional searches.<\/p>\n<p>With Google long dominating search, it\u2019s fascinating to see how tools like Perplexity AI are raising the bar. OpenAI and Google will need to innovate further to keep up in this fast-changing space.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Search engines have been a go-to source for finding information, but AI has made them smarter and more helpful.
