Search and filter ChatGPT chats

Searching is useful, filtering is better: in a long chat you often need only part of the messages. Here is how GPTFlow lets you do it.

Search

GPTFlow offers a basic search in the Free version and an advanced search in the Pro version, both working on the conversation organized in tabs.

Available filters

Filter	What it shows	Version
User Only	Only your messages	Free
GPT Only	Only ChatGPT's replies	Pro
Code Only	Only the tabs with code	Pro
Images Only	Only the tabs with images	Pro

Usage examples

Developers: filter Code Only to review all the versions of a script.
Creatives: use Images Only and the gallery to find generated images again.
Students and writers: filter User Only to reread the questions you asked and rebuild the path.

Search by color

You can assign a color to the tabs you care about: in the Free version to your own message tabs, in Pro to ChatGPT's tabs too. Then you can search by color and GPTFlow shows only the chosen ones. In the Pro version it pairs with the favorites panel.

Filters work everywhere

The User Only, GPT Only, Code Only and Images Only filters apply to the tab index, to the advanced search and to scrolling: you can view and step through, with the menu arrows or the keyboard, only your messages, only ChatGPT's replies, only code blocks or only images. To search by date, time and color see the guide on advanced search.

Other useful tools

The tab index and, in the Pro version, the narrative summary of the conversation.

Frequently asked questions
