Copilot (Windows 11 / Microsoft 365), the search function

a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

Issue
In Copilot (Windows 11 / Microsoft 365), the search function performs a global search across all conversations, agents, and apps. There is currently no way to search within the active conversation only, and standard Ctrl + F does not work.

Impact

  • Long or technical chats are hard to reuse
  • Users must copy conversations outside Copilot just to search
  • This breaks a very common chat UX expectation

Feature request
Please add a conversation‑scoped search, for example:

  • A toggle: This conversation only / All conversations
  • Or enable Ctrl + F within the active chat

This would significantly improve Copilot usability for research, troubleshooting, and technical work
