DeepSeek chat history: folders and search
The Chatsavo panel on DeepSeek is in the current build. Support for this site is in testing and can be rough. ChatGPT and Claude are supported.
The panel is already in this build
In the current build the Chatsavo panel opens on chat.deepseek.com. DeepSeek support is in testing: if DeepSeek changes how its pages work, some chats may not be saved until we ship a fix. Gemini, Grok, Alice and Perplexity are in testing too; ChatGPT and Claude are supported; GigaChat comes later.
Why this matters on DeepSeek
DeepSeek is good at code and math, and many people keep it next to ChatGPT. But DeepSeek's history is just a list by date: no folders, and finding a month-old solution by a code fragment is hard.
What the panel does on DeepSeek
The same as on ChatGPT and Claude:
- The Chatsavo panel on the left — folders up to 5 levels, "Pinned", "Recent".
- Drag chats from DeepSeek's list into folders, or use "Move to…" in a chat's menu.
- DeepSeek history search across the text of chats opened after install. Titles from the site list can show up sooner. Word forms and typos are handled.
- The
has:codefilter — only messages with code. Handy when you're after that one solution. - Jump to the matching message in a long conversation.
- Search across DeepSeek, ChatGPT and Claude with the "All sites" switch.
site:deepseekkeeps only DeepSeek. - Full JSON backup — "Download everything (JSON)" in Settings.
Chat texts stay in your browser only.
How to try it
- Install Chatsavo by hand from the zip on the install page. It is not a store install.
- Open chat.deepseek.com. The panel should appear on the left. If it doesn't, or behaves oddly, that's the testing stage.
- Open a couple of old chats — Chatsavo remembers their text.
- Press Alt+Shift+F and search for a word from one of them.
Questions and answers
Does DeepSeek work already?
The panel is in the current build. Support is in testing and can be rough — not as stable as ChatGPT and Claude. Changes go into the changelog and its RSS feed.
Will chats from before the install be found?
Yes, if they're still in your DeepSeek history. Chatsavo saves a chat's text when you open it: open the old chats you need once and they become searchable.
Do I pay anything extra for DeepSeek?
No. Chatsavo is free: no trial, no plan limits, no card, no account. More on the "Free" page.
Where do my chats go?
Nowhere. Folders and search text are stored only in your browser. The extension sends nothing to our servers.
