Advanced search in ChatGPT chats

In a long chat you do not always remember what you wrote, but you often remember when. GPTFlow's advanced search (Pro version) searches all the tabs of the chat by date, time and color, even together.

You can add one or more colors to any search: 10:00/12:00 blue shows your messages in that time range; 26/04/2026 blue green yellow shows the tabs of that day with those colors; you can also combine a word and a color, for example invoice lightblue. GPTFlow shows only the tabs that match all the criteria.

Advanced search is a Pro version feature; the Free version has the basic search.
