Feature Request: Add Search Functionality in Copilot Chat History

Hi everyone, I’d like to suggest a feature for Microsoft Copilot that I believe would significantly improve usability and productivity: searching within chat history.

Currently, users cannot search past conversations inside Copilot. This makes it difficult to retrieve previous answers, references, or technical instructions—especially in long or complex chats. Adding a search bar or keyword filter would allow users to quickly locate relevant messages without scrolling manually.

This feature would be especially helpful for developers, IT professionals, and anyone using Copilot for technical troubleshooting or documentation. It would also reduce repeated questions and improve continuity across sessions.

Please consider adding this capability in future updates. If others agree, feel free to upvote or share your use cases.

Thanks!

  • hi  rikhtehgaran​ Good suggestion—having a search function in Copilot chat history would significantly improve productivity. For users who rely on Copilot for technical guidance or long-running projects, being able to quickly find past responses, commands, and references would save time and reduce repeated prompts. This kind of feature is essential for professional and enterprise use cases.
