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.
What you can search
| Criterion | Example |
|---|---|
| Year | the year you care about |
| Month, or month and year | the month (or month and year) you care about |
| Date | 26/04 · 26/04/2026 |
| Time | 10:33 |
| Time range | 10:00/12:00 |
| Standard tab color | blue (user messages) · green (ChatGPT replies) |
| Custom color | the name or code of the color you assigned |
Combine several criteria
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.
What it is for
- Find "what I wrote on Tuesday morning" without remembering the exact words.
- Review all the steps you marked with a certain color.
- Narrow down results when a word appears in dozens of tabs.
Advanced search is a Pro version feature; the Free version has the basic search.
