For anyone relying on ChatGPT for up-to-date search results, today has been rough. The platform cannot deliver recent news or handle basic searches, leaving users stuck with errors and missing chat history—even though similar issues are being reported globally right now.
It’s not just this one incident: OpenAI’s own support pages and community forums are full of fresh complaints about server outages, failed searches, disappearing messages, and buggy mobile apps. Solutions like refreshing, switching browsers, or clearing caches don’t always work, and there’s no official timeline announced for a fix.
I’m publishing this to let others know: If you’re also experiencing problems getting ChatGPT to work in real time, add your story or comment below. Maybe together we can track if these outages are isolated or more widespread.
