searching my old chatgpt chats doesn't find anything

I know I had a conversation about a recipe a couple of months ago, but the search box in the sidebar comes up empty for words I'm sure were in it. Does it only search titles?

same here, the sidebar search is hit and miss on older stuff. Check Archived chats first (Settings > Data controls), archived ones don't show in the sidebar. And temporary chats are never saved at all. What works every time is exporting your data from that same Data controls page. You get an email with a zip, and the html file inside has every conversation, Ctrl + F through that.
