OpenAI has announced a new feature for ChatGPT that allows users to search for old conversations. Until now, finding a chat from quite some time ago was a rather tedious process that required searching for keywords from the conversation titles on the browser page itself. With this update, initially available only for paying users, users will be able to search their history through an integrated search box, accessible via a magnifying glass icon in the app’s sidebar.

Additionally, the more this function is used, the more efficient it will be in filtering results according to each user’s preferences.
This new search function is part of a series of recently launched improvements, including the launch of Canvas, an AI-powered text and code editor, as well as a redesign of the chat bar. In this way, OpenAI continues to refine ChatGPT to compete with chatbots from rival companies, such as Google or Anthropic.
