Currently, ChatGPT is the dominant service in the AI-powered chatbot segment. OpenAI, its parent company, was the one who started the AI-powered revolution of the tech industry after releasing the first version. Over the years, ChatGPT has received new features and much more powerful reasoning capabilities. Now, ChatGPT is getting a new search feature that seems quite useful.
If you are a frequent ChatGPT user, you might have a rather long conversation history with the chatbot. You might also want to quickly locate a specific conversation to retrieve some data. However, until now, the only way to do this was to scroll through the entire chat. This method was quite cumbersome and impractical, something that clashes with OpenAI’s philosophy of making the use of AI services as simple as possible.
ChatGPT is getting a search feature to find data in your chat history
Now, OpenAI is rolling out a search feature for ChatGPT’s chat history. This means that you can now easily find specific interactions you had with the platform weeks, months, or even years ago, using just a keyword or phrase. Just like any other built-in chat search system, you’ll only need to remember a word that you or ChatGPT used during the session. Of course, you need to have the chat history option enabled.
Availability is limited to Plus and Teams plans
Search systems for chat window-based services are pretty useful, and it’s quite surprising that ChatGPT lacked this feature for so long. Most messaging platforms or social networks usually include a similar option. Although you don’t actually chat with other people on ChatGPT, its “problem-solving” nature also deserved a search feature. Fortunately, the wait is over, and now finding information in your old chats with ChatGPT will be much easier.
Currently, the ChatGPT search system is available to subscribers of the Plus and Team plans. Subscribers to the Enterprise and Edu tiers will receive it starting next week. Lastly, free users of the service will gradually access the feature starting next month.
