I'm curious about how O3 operates when the search feature isn't turned on. Does it still access the web for information? What happens when I enable search—how does that change the results or the way it functions? Also, I've noticed that O3 performs multiple searches even when it doesn't find an answer right away, making it feel like a thorough research process. Can anyone explain how the enabled search differs from the default settings?

O3 does access the web for deeper dives, which is a game changer for thorough research! When you enable search, it's like upgrading from basic to advanced search mode. You get in-depth results with cited sources, making the whole process feel much more comprehensive than the standard search capabilities.
Absolutely, it seems like O3 really ramps up its searching when you turn on the feature. I'm not entirely sure why it's even an option, but it definitely pulls in more data when enabled—maybe it's designed to help you find exactly what you’re looking for?
Yeah, O3 will indeed search the web on its own if it thinks it needs more info, even if you didn't ask it to. When you enable search, you're basically telling it to prioritize web searches more actively. It’s like giving it a nudge to dig deeper!
Sure, but I'm not sure these differences really answer OP's curiosity about functioning without search enabled.
