| 21 Aug 2026, 7:57 AM | Simon Willison | 6.5 | ChatGPT search now uses the site:operator at scale
Promptwatch tracking data shows ChatGPT Search fanout queries containing the site: operator jumped from ~0.3-0.5% to 16-17% around August 8, aligned with the GPT-5.6 rollout. Simon Willison notes OpenAI's search tool likely uses a search(query, recency, domains) shape rather than directly encouraging site: usage, and that OpenAI continues to obscure its system prompts. Why: If you publish content or build tools that depend on being surfaced in ChatGPT Search, this shift means domain-targeted retrieval is now a major factor in what ChatGPT returns — not just open web search. Anyone doing GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) or building AI search tooling should test how their site performs under site:-scoped queries and consider whether their content is structured to be picked up under domain-restricted fanout. |
