Search and bookmarks
Conversation search finds text from previous chats. Bookmarks keep important chats in a personal list. Your administrator can disable either feature.
Search chats
- Select Search in the sidebar.
- Enter at least two characters, using a distinctive term or phrase.
- Select a result to open the chat. The result snippet helps identify the passage; the interface does not jump directly to that message.
- Change or broaden the terms if the result is missing.
Search currently checks the 500 most recently updated conversations owned by your account and the 500 most recent user or assistant messages associated with your account. It matches the entered text without regard to letter case. It does not search every file or the complete shared workspace. Older content can therefore be absent even when you still have access.
Archived conversations may appear. Temporary conversations are omitted from the normal sidebar, but the current search does not explicitly exclude temporary records while they still exist. Do not treat absence from the sidebar as proof of deletion or use search as a reliable temporary-chat archive.
Try an uncommon technical term, person’s name, project title or memorable phrase rather than a generic word.

Bookmark a chat
For a chat you own:
- Open the chat.
- Open More actions.
- Select Add bookmark.
- Optionally add tags in the dialog.
You can also use the bookmark action in a chat row’s sidebar menu. A filled bookmark icon identifies a saved item.
Bookmarks are personal. Bookmarking a shared chat does not create a bookmark for other participants or grant additional access.
Add or change tags
Open Edit bookmark, enter a term under Tags and confirm it. Use short, consistent tags such as client, project-alpha or follow-up. Remove a tag with its remove control.
Tags filter your personal bookmark list. Tag filtering can currently be unreliable for bookmarks on chats that somebody else shared with you. If necessary, find those entries under All or through conversation search.
Open and filter bookmarks
- Open the account menu beside your name.
- Select Bookmarks.
- Choose All or a displayed tag.
- Open the required chat.
If a chat is deleted or you lose access, its bookmark cannot open the content.
Remove a bookmark
Open Edit bookmark and select Remove bookmark. You can also use the chat menu in the sidebar. This removes only your bookmark, not the chat.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | What to do |
|---|---|
| Search or Bookmarks is missing | Ask your administrator whether the feature is enabled. |
| An old chat is absent from search | Check Archived, search for more precise terms, or navigate through its project and chat list. |
| A result will not open | The chat may have been deleted or your access may have changed. |
| A tag omits a shared chat | Select All; tag filtering can be unreliable for participant bookmarks. |
| A bookmark disappears | Check that the chat still exists and you still have access. |
