Microsoft Copilot says there is no feature capability to search history of chats. Can that feature be added? I'd like to prevent duplicate searches and instead build knowledge on what has already been answered.

- Window app
- Copilot chat on the web
- Copilot Android app
And each have its own history, not searchable, and no synchronisation at all between them

2025-06-01T07:52:53.84+00:00 Worse: there are (at least) three different Copilot apps: the Windows app, "Copilot Chat" on the web, and the Android app. None implement a search history feature, and each maintains its own independent history, not searchable, and without any synchronization whatsoever between platforms!

This is a thorn in my side and the worst part about it is that it seems like Microsoft has gone out of their way to prevent it. Even if you export a link to a conversation so that you can share it, If you post the link into co-pilot, it still can't search it. I do see that on the Microsoft 365 business you can now search copilot conversations, but that's not the same version of co-pilot that you get on the consumer side which I highly prefer. That's a very least you would think that this would be a feature with the paid subscription which is about the only reason I could justify paying for and would gladly do so.
