(Updated) Microsoft 365 Copilot: Copilot chats in search results [MC1189002]

Message ID: MC1189002 (Updated)

Updated December 8, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. 

We’re introducing a new capability that enhances Microsoft Copilot by integrating historical Copilot conversations into Microsoft Search. This update allows users to retrieve past interactions—including chats from notebooks, agents, and the main Copilot chat interface—directly within the search results page (SERP). A new “Copilot Chats” data source will also appear in the right rail, enabling users to scope their search specifically to Copilot-generated content.

A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to access this feature.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 506751.

When this will happen:

• Public Preview (Worldwide): Rolling out early November 2025; expected completion by mid-November 2025.
• Targeted Release (Worldwide): Rolling out mid-November 2025; expected completion by early December 2025 (previously late November).
• General Availability (Worldwide): Rolling out mid-December 2025 (previously late November); expected completion by late December 2025 (previously early December).

How this affects your organization:

• Who is affected: All users of Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft 365.
• What will happen:
  • Users will be able to search and retrieve historical Copilot conversations from:
    • Notebooks
    • Agents
    • The main Copilot chat interface
  • A new “Copilot Chats” data source will appear in the right rail of the search results page: 

  

  • Users can scope their search to only include Copilot-generated content.
  • Each user will only have access to their own Copilot conversations.
  • No changes to tenant-wide settings or permissions are required.

What you can do to prepare:

• No action is required from tenant admins at this time.
• You may wish to inform your users about this new search capability to help them take full advantage of Copilot.
