# Search All Your Saved AI Chats


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.

This needs Kortex Pro. See [pricing](https://www.kortex-notebooklm.com/#pricing). On the free plan, the keys show a short line that says so, with a button.

## Why use Chat Search?

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.

## How to search

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

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

## 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.

## Changing the keys

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

:::tip Good to know

- Only chats Kortex has saved can be found. See [Saving your chats](/docs/library-saving).
- Search from any page is a Kortex Pro feature. On the free plan, search the Library instead: it covers the last 30 days. See [the free plan and the trial](/docs/chat-library#on-the-free-plan-and-the-trial).
