How does it work

It creates a local index of all the chats and messages you have. It also adds a button in the sidebar and a hotkey to open the search (⌨️ Ctrl-Shift-L). When you type in the search box, it uses the local index to find the messages that match your query.

Why do I need it

Currently ChatGPT does not offer any way to find older chats other than just scrolling and looking through all of them. If you have numerous chats in ChatGPT web UI and regularly need to find something you've already discussed, this is just for you.

Does it search contents of the chats?

Yes, it creates an index of both chat names and chat messages. You can search for any word or phrase that was ever mentioned in any of your chats. After you first install the extension, please give it some time to fetch the index. Chat names are retrieved immediately, but messages may take a few minutes to fetch.
