How to search your past AI searches
Published . Updated .
Open History in the Only Fan Out side panel and type in the search box: it matches the conversation title, your prompt and the query text the assistant searched, across ChatGPT, Claude and Grok. Click a result to open it in Live with its queries and sources.
How do you find a past search?
- Open the side panel and choose History.
- Type in Search title, prompt or query text. The list narrows as you type.
- Read each row's counts: turns, queries, fetched, cited and watchlist hits.
- Click a row to open that conversation in Live.
How far back does History go?
History keeps your 100 most recent conversations, and fewer if they pass about 8 MB, removing the oldest first. Export a backup if you want to keep more. Backing up your captured data shows how.
Why can you not find a ChatGPT query?
History only holds what the panel captured. For ChatGPT chats since 14 September 2026, the panel has the queries only for answers it saw being written, because ChatGPT stopped saving them. For older chats, the free ChatGPT export search reader lists the queries in your ChatGPT data export.
