If you are a ChatGPT super user, you probably know that it doesn’t take long to accumulate a long list of conversations in your left-hand history bar. On top of that, they are usually labeled with some arbitrary name that makes it difficult to revisit later.

Now, ChatGPT’s new feature will make sure you never scramble to find a chat again.

On Tuesday, OpenAI announced via an X post that it will start rolling out a feature allowing users to search their chat history on ChatGPT web. The feature will be accessible via a magnifying glass icon in the upper lefthand corner, as seen in a user post below.
The feature will be released to all ChatGPT web users, but the rollout will follow OpenAI’s typical tiering, with ChatGPT Plus and Team users getting it first and free users last.
When writing this article, I still could not access the feature on my paid account, but I will follow up when I can. All other users will get access later, with Enterprise and Edu users getting access next week and free users getting access “throughout the next month,” according to OpenAI.

Although it seems pretty simple, users have been highly requesting this feature. Until now, it was easy to lose a conversation and findings that could be useful to revisit. Staying organized in ChatGPT remains such a challenge that many users are even requesting other features, including pinning conversations and creating chat folders.
I can’t believe this is coming after years.. It was so much pain to find the chat before on web.

Until the feature rolls out, users can organize their chats by archiving the most important ones. You can do this by clicking on your profile picture in the upper right-hand corner, clicking on “Settings,” then “General,” and then “Manage” next to “Archived chats.”

You can also click on the three dots next to each chat on the left-hand bar to rename them to something easier to remember and more relevant to your needs or share the conversation with yourself for safekeeping. Of course, you can also simply delete any conversations that you don’t have a need for.
