Since its inception in November 2022, ChatGPT, OpenAI’s text-generating artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, has taken the world by storm. With the help of ChatGPT, users can get AI-generated responses to their questions, requests, and commands. Earlier this year, OpenAI also announced a new feature called ‘memory’ for ChatGPT that can recall information discussed in previous conversations.

Now, the company has debuted a new way to efficiently view or manage all the previous chat conversations with the introduction of a search function for the web app. OpenAI announced via a new post on X (formerly known as Twitter), “We’re starting to roll out the ability to search through your chat history on ChatGPT web. Now you can quickly & easily bring up a chat to reference, or pick up a chat where you left off.”

The history search is a distinct feature from the ‘memory’ for ChatGPT, as it can let users bring up an old chat to remember something or pick back up a chat right where it was left off, especially if their query was unresolved. This feature is also expected to reduce the need for users to repeat information and to find clear links to relevant sources.

Moreover, OpenAI has confirmed that this new magnifying glass icon is currently rolling out to all users, albeit in phases. ChatGPT Plus and Teams subscribers will have access to it by the end of October 2024. In contrast, Enterprise and Edu subscribers will receive it at the start of next month. Thankfully, free users will also get access to the chat history feature by the end of November 2024.
