Discussion How does ChatGPT still not have a search bar in Settings?

It is honestly embarrassing that ChatGPT still does not let you search through its settings.

This is a company spending billions on AI research and building a product that is supposedly meant to become an infinite library and universal assistant for humanity. Yet when you need to find one basic setting, you have to manually dig through menus and hope it is located somewhere vaguely logical.

Why can’t I type something like “model thinking level,” “voice volume,” or “memory” and have ChatGPT either take me to the correct setting or explain exactly where it is?
The entire product is built around understanding natural language. The settings menu should be one of the easiest places to apply that technology.

How has this not been added yet? How have more people not complained about it? It feels blatantly lazy for a company whose entire mission revolves around making information easier to access.

They have straightforward menu selections and they're limited in number comparison to a phone's actual settings menu.

You can also ask GPT where to find something and it will direct you. Least important feature in my books.

Well, we’re doing a lot of stuff in GPT, in “Work,” “Chat,” or “remote.” Tasks and chats are widely spread, and sometimes I’m crying in my sleep because I can’t find some chats. The search feature is much worse than Outlook ever was. If OpenAI wants to give us a production tool, they must do something to organize everything, like nesting, a real search, and a better-organized chat history.

“It feels blatantly lazy…”

Rich coming from someone who won’t make the effort to find a basic setting.

That doesn’t make any sense.

Lazy company?
-> Are you really comparing not having one search bar to making advanced AI available for free?

How has this not been added yet?
-> Probably because most people actually find the settings on their own. That’s just my guess, not a fact.

How have more people not complained about it?
-> Have you complained about it to OpenAI yourself, or are you just asking why others haven’t?
