How to enable AI search feature in Google Chrome?

Google Chrome's AI search feature is one of the latest uses of artificial intelligence in Google Chrome on the desktop, which allows you to naturally search your browsing history, and here's how to enable this feature.

Google Chrome's AI Search Feature

This experimental feature, currently called “Search History with AI,” lets you use everyday language to find what you’re looking for in your Chrome browsing history without knowing a specific keyword or website address. Examples of queries include:

“Where was that ice cream shop I saw last week?”
“Comfortable walking shoes”
“Vegan Pasta Recipes”

Therefore, Chrome will store the URL, page title and contents of the site you are browsing locally on your device, and this may affect Chrome's performance.

Important Notes About AI Search Feature

There are some important notes that you should consider when using AI search in Google Chrome:

AI search only works on sites visited after this feature was enabled. It does not apply to history before that.
You can search directly from the address bar by typing @history and then entering your query, or go to chrome://history (three dots in the overflow menu > History > History) where you'll find new filters: Yesterday, Past 7 Days, and Past 30 Days. One to three results will be displayed.
In terms of privacy, Google notes that: When you search your browsing history, the search terms in your history, the page content of the top results, and the sample output generated are sent to Google and may be viewed by human reviewers to improve this feature.
