ChatGPT Launches Chat History Search Feature for Web Users

OpenAI has introduced a new feature to ChatGPT that streamlines the process of searching and finding important information from previous chats on the web version.

The parent firm continues to improve its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot with new capabilities, hence maintaining its market competitiveness. While the GPT-4 model can browse the web, the newest feature of its web platform is a robust search tool for chat histories.

How to Use the Chat History Search Feature in ChatGPT?

Using X (formerly Twitter), OpenAI announced the new search tool for chat histories. Users have been requesting a solution to the problem of having to manually browse through their chat history in order to find certain discussions for quite some time.

A new magnifying glass icon has been added to the side panel of the ChatGPT web version as a user-friendly feature. By tapping this symbol, a text box will appear, allowing users to search for previous conversations using keywords. Users can also see their most recent conversations in the text box and choose one to read without having to type.

Chat history search availability

The update is now rolling out to users of ChatGPT Plus and Team, according to OpenAI. Next week, the chat history search feature will be available to users in the enterprise and educational sectors. Those using ChatGPT’s free plan, however, will not be able to access it until November.
