Chrome extension adds full-text search for Claude chats
history can become hard to use once there are many conversations. Claude’s built-in search mainly depends on chat titles, so it can be difficult to find an answer from weeks ago if the title does not match what was discussed. AI Toolbox, a , has added a search tab that looks through both chat titles and message text.
Search can be filtered by speaker, separating the user’s messages from Claude’s replies, and by time range such as the past week, month, or year. Results show how many matches were found and highlight the matching text, so it is clear why each result appeared. Clicking a result opens the matching Claude conversation directly.
The search runs on a local copy stored in the browser, so it does not call an external service for every search. The Claude features are free, and the extension says the cached conversations stay in the user’s browser through IndexedDB instead of being sent to the developer’s backend.
