I’m discarding most ChatGPT conversations except for a few, typically 1-2 per day. These few fall into these categories:
conversations that led to insights or things I want to remember (examples: The immune function of tonsils, Ringwoodite transformation and the geological water cycle, oldest religious texts)
conversations that I want to continue (examples: Unusual commitment norms)
conversations that I expect to follow up to (a chess book for my son)
conversations with generated images that I want to keep and haven’t yet copied elsewhere
Most job-related queries, such as code generation and debugging, I usually delete as soon as the code changes have been committed.
I keep all of my conversations. Additionally, I sometimes have the wish to search in all my conversations (“I’ve talked about this already”)—but ChatGPT doesn’t allow for this.

How do you handle it?

Yes, I’d also like to search them. I edit the summary so it better reflects what I’d search for, but yes, that doesn’t cover the content.
There are some alternate ChatGPT UIs you could have a look at:
