Chat Search

Chat Search lets you search every AI chat you saved, from any website. Press Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows or ⇧⌘K on a Mac, type what you remember, and open a result at the exact message.

The chat search box over a web page, with matching chats from several AIs

This needs Kortex Pro. See pricing. On the free plan, the keys show a short line that says so, with a button.

It is like asking a helper, "Where did I read that?" You do not have to remember which AI it was, or open each one.

  1. On any web page, press ⇧⌘K on a Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+K on Windows.
  2. Type the words you remember, or what the chat was about.
  3. Move through the results with the arrow keys.
  4. Press the right arrow to preview the matching message with the ones around it.
  5. Press Enter to open the result.

The search covers your chats, notebooks and videos. If nothing matches, it says so.

When nothing matches, the search says so instead of showing an empty list

Opening a result​

A chat opens at the message that matched. It scrolls there and draws an outline around it. If the chat is on the site you are on, it opens in the same tab. A chat from another AI opens in a new tab.

The chat scrolls to the message that matched and outlines it

Changing the keys​

  1. Type chrome://extensions/shortcuts in the address bar and press Enter.
  2. Find Kortex. Click the box beside Search your saved AI chats on any page and press the keys you want.
