Updated Sep 22, 2026
Steps
- Open a chat from ChatsIn Sidepanel → Chats, click a conversation row (optionally after searching).
- Search inside the threadClick the search icon or press Ctrl/Cmd+F. Type in Search in conversation. Matches highlight; use ↑/↓ or Enter / Shift+Enter to move; Esc closes.
- Jump with Table of ContentsOpen Table of Contents to see user-prompt previews and scroll to that message.
- Copy or reopen on the AI siteCopy entire conversation or a single message. Open in {Platform} opens the live conversation URL when available.
Open chat detail
In Sidepanel → Chats, click a conversation row. Detail shows the full transcript stored on this device (from Sync / Auto-Sync / Bulk / Heal)—not a live scrape of the AI site.
List search rules: Sidepanel Chats. Concept: Local search.
Search in conversation (detail-search)
Open the in-thread search box with the search icon or Ctrl+F / Cmd+F. Placeholder: Search in conversation.
| Control | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Query | Terms of ≥ 2 characters are matched inside message bodies; shorter tokens are ignored |
| Highlights | All matches marked; the current match uses a stronger highlight |
| Counter | Shows n/total when there are hits, or No results |
| Next / Previous | ↓ / ↑ buttons, or Enter / Shift+Enter |
| Close | × or Esc — clears the query and hides the box |
Detail search helps you jump within one thread. List search in Chats finds which conversations match across your library.
Carry list keywords into detail
If you open a result while the Chats search box still has a query, Pactify pre-fills Search in conversation with that same string, opens the search box, and highlights matches so you can land on the relevant passage quickly.
- List snippets may already show a Title or Msg #N label plus a highlighted excerpt.
- Detail then continues with in-thread match navigation (n/total).
Table of Contents
The list icon opens Table of Contents: an outline of your user prompts (preview text), not assistant replies. Click an entry to scroll to that message. If the prompt is below the currently loaded messages, detail loads enough of the thread first, then scrolls.
Copy and reopen on the AI site
| Action | Where |
|---|---|
| Copy entire conversation | Header — Copy entire conversation |
| Copy one message | Per-message copy control |
| Open in {Platform} | Header — opens the live conversation URL in a new tab when available |
Long threads
Very long chats show about 15 messages first, then load more as you scroll (batches of ~10). When everything is loaded you may see “All N messages loaded.” Searching or TOC jumps that target later messages expand the loaded range automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Are my search keywords highlighted in chat detail?
Opening a chat while the Chats list still has a search query carries that query into Search in conversation and highlights matches for quick jump.
Does chat detail have a Table of Contents?
User messages only (prompt previews), not assistant replies—similar to ChatGPT’s outline style.
Can I open the original conversation from chat detail?
Yes, when a conversation URL exists—use Open in {Platform} in the detail header.
