Chat Questions/Issues
When I use the search function to search for a particular word or character string within a chat window or chat session:
1. How can I quickly navigate or jump from one search result to the next result (or previous result) without having to tediously scroll through all of the intermediate, unrelated verbage that may appear between the search results
2. How can I limit the search so that I it only searches for a particular word or character string forward or backward from the current cursor location within the chat window?
If the above functionality is not currently available, would you please consider adding it?
Hi,
You can use the following commands before or after entering your search term:
from:me
to search for messages only created by the current user.from:user.name
to search for messages created by a specific user. The username entered must be the format without spaces (i.e. "john.doe" and not "John Doe". If you want to search for anytime a user was mentioned, simply search for their username.has:star
returns messages that are starred by the current user.is:pinned
orhas:pin
returns messages that are pinned in the current channel.has:url
orhas:link
returns messages that contain a link.before:dd/mm/yyyy
,after:dd/mm/yyyy
andon:dd/mm/yyyy
return message that were created before, after or on the provided date. You can also use dashesdd-mm-yyyy
or dotsdd.mm.yyyy
instead of slashes.order:asc
sorts messages by ascending timestamp. You can also useorder:ascend
ororder:ascending
order:desc
sorts messages by ascending timestamp. You can also useorder:descend
ororder:descending
