FAQ
Quick answers before you read
Can I search inside Claude message content with filters?
Claude's built-in chat search has no date, role or exact-match filters. AI Toolbox indexes every message locally and searches the text itself, with each result highlighted and labelled Q or A. The free plan shows the first 5 results per query; Premium shows all of them and adds the Exact Match toggle, include and exclude chips and a date range.
How do I export or back up Claude conversations?
Claude's only native export is an account-wide archive from Settings that is queued, emailed to you, and expires 24 hours after it lands. AI Toolbox exports any single conversation as TXT on the free plan, and as Markdown, JSON or PDF on Premium, one at a time or in bulk from Manage Chats.
Can deleted Claude conversations be recovered?
Not once deleted: Claude removes them permanently and no extension can bring them back. A conversation that is only missing is usually findable with full-text search. The recovery guide covers the narrow salvage options and how to back up before it matters.
Does AI Toolbox add folders and bookmarks to Claude?
Yes. Manage Folders adds a folder tree with unlimited subfolders to claude.ai (2 root folders free, unlimited on Premium), and any message can be bookmarked and jumped back to, prompts and replies both, with bookmarks in 2 conversations on the free plan. Smart Tags label conversations by topic automatically.
Which of these guides need the paid plan?
None of them. Every guide explains the native Claude feature first and states the free-plan limit where AI Toolbox is involved. The paid features are unlimited search results with the Advanced panel, unlimited folders and bookmark conversations, bulk export and delete, Markdown, JSON and PDF export, and the full artifacts history.
Does AI Toolbox work in Edge, Brave or Firefox?
It installs from the Chrome Web Store into any Chromium browser: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Arc. There is no Firefox version.
