You no longer need to remember specific keywords or website addresses. You can simply search for things like "ice cream shop I saw last week."

To support this feature, Chrome stores the URL, page title, and content of websites you visit locally on your device.

The AI search feature will only work on websites you visit after enabling it. Previous browsing history won’t be included in the search results.

You can search your browsing history by typing "@history" in the address bar or by accessing the Chrome History page under the three-dot menu.

Search filters like "yesterday," "last 7 days," and "last 30 days" are available for refining your results, which will display up to three matching pages.
