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!40Views0likes1CommentOverview of Copilot solutions and Key Benefits
