Your Conversations Are Now Searchable — By You
The agent has been able to search your conversation history for a while — that is how it remembers what you decided in May. Today the same engine gets a human door: a search box in the chat sidebar. Same index, same ranking, same hard rule that you only ever see your own conversations — now with your hands on the controls.
The chat widget grew a search feature over the whole conversation realm: what you said, what the assistant answered, and the working summaries it keeps per turn. One engine serves both readers — the agent recalling mid-turn and you looking for that answer from three weeks ago.
You state the question before anything runs
Typing filters chat titles instantly and locally — that costs nothing. A deep search over message content runs only when you press Search, and the settings panel lets you shape it first as an intersection of three prerequisites:
- WHERE — this chat or all your chats.
- WHEN — any time, last 7/30/90 days, or an exact date range.
- WHAT KIND — your messages, the assistant's answers, its working summaries; each an opt-in chip.
Rank sliders, with the math on a card
Under the hood a query runs three retrieval arms — semantic (finds paraphrases), lexical (nails exact words, names, codes), recency (lifts what you worked on lately) — fused by reciprocal-rank fusion. The new part: three sliders (0–2) put those arms in your hands. Looking for an error string verbatim? Push lexical. Sure it was this week? Push recency. At the default 1.0 each, results are exactly what the server would rank on its own. The ⓘ next to the sliders opens a short lesson: what each arm is good at, and the fusion worked through on a three-turn example — so the knobs are understood, never mystical.
When you remember when, but not what
Leave the query blank, set a date range, press Search: the widget switches to a chronological browse of everything in that window, newest first. "What was I doing the week before the release?" is now one gesture.
Snippets that say who said it — and a door back
Results group by conversation; every snippet is its own card with a role chip — you, assistant, or summary — so a match in the agent's working summary is labeled as exactly that, never dressed up as a reply. Each card shows its place ("turn 4 of 31"), the full timestamp, and a quiet relevance bar; sort flips between relevance and time. And every card has Bring me here: the conversation opens in the same chat view, scrolls to that exact turn, and flashes it briefly. Search that ends where the memory actually lives.
