Search

Full-text message search — scopes, filters, highlighted results.

The header magnifier or K (Ctrl K) opens search anywhere.

  • Scopes — current channel or the whole community (toggle in the dialog); inside a conversation, that conversation. Search never crosses community boundaries, and only channels you can see are searched.
  • Filters — author (pick from the roster) and before/after dates.
  • Results — messages with highlighted matching terms; click to jump in place. Thread replies carry an “In thread” badge and deep-link into the panel; community-wide results show a #channel badge.

Search is full-text with stemming and typo tolerance (Meilisearch under the hood). Deleted and system messages are excluded.
