ChatGpt in-app search feature not very good

Is anyone else having issues with ChatGPT’s in-app search?

I’m currently running Version 1.2025.294 (1761352070) on my MacBook Air (Sequoia 15.5, 24F74). Whenever I try to search for a chat buried deep in my project folders, it almost never shows up — even when I type the exact chat title. I’ve even tried adding parentheses or quoting phrases that appear in the chat, but it still returns nothing.

Another frustrating issue: sometimes I’ll search for a specific phrase I know appears in a chat. It shows up in the query suggestions, but when I click it, the app doesn’t jump to that part of the conversation — it just opens the chat at the bottom, and I have to scroll all the way up to find it manually.

I’ve noticed this behavior on the iPhone app and the web app too.

Anyone else experiencing this, or found a workaround?
