Query parameters in chatgpt

I have made an incredible discovery.

I haven’t seen much people talk about this, but this is extremely useful and I don’t know why more people are talking about this.

This will be extremely useful for automators, people who build shortcuts (e.g. like in iOS) and in my case, I’m currently building a custom Chrome extension that allows you to seamlessly switch between Google and ChatGPT on your own homepage with ChatGPT as a speed dial on your Newtab, without having to replace Google in your search bar—best of both worlds! (if anyone is interested in that let me know)

How it works
The format is straightforward:

https://chatgpt.com/?q={searchTerms}&hints=search

• Replace {searchTerms} with your desired query, and ChatGPT will open with the input pre-filled.

• Adding &hints=search allows direct access to SearchGPT (for Plus users), combining AI capabilities with live web results!

These are REALLY COOL and they should be used more often! A speed dial for ChatGPT that gives instant access to the app, as long as you have a param!

Spread the word soldiers :saluting_face:

Thank you so much, I was looking for that!!!
I’ve managed to improve it by making the search a temporary chat in GPT so it doesn’t flood my history.
https://chatgpt.com/?q={searchTerms}&hints=search&temporary-chat=true

Hope this helps.

Does that also work somehow with a custom GPT?

I’ve been trying to use the model parameter, but no success yet. I’ll keep trying though
