Quick answer
Search conversations from the folder sidebar or Conversation Manager, type the phrase, project, prompt, or answer you remember, then scan the highlighted matches to reopen the right conversation without scrolling through the sidebar.
Search for the words you remember
Type a project name, client name, prompt phrase, answer snippet, note, or topic. The matching words are highlighted in conversation search results, which makes it easier to scan the list quickly.
Search inside each manager
Other Superpower managers have their own search fields too. You can search prompts, notes, pinned messages, highlights, images, custom instruction profiles, and custom GPTs inside their own manager sections.

Scan the preview before opening
Use the result title, snippet, date, and surrounding context to confirm you found the right chat. This keeps you from opening several similar conversations one by one.

Save the useful result for next time
Once you find the right conversation, move it into a folder, pin an important message, or highlight the answer so it is easier to recover later.
Search strategy
Search works best when your saved context has a little structure.
Search for exact phrases from the answer when you can remember them.
Use Conversation Manager for a full chat-history search and the folder sidebar when you are already working inside folders.
Use folders and clear chat names to make future searches easier.
If you are searching prompts, notes, pinned messages, highlights, images, custom instruction profiles, or custom GPTs, search inside that manager.
If a search returns too many results, add a second term from the project, client, or topic.
