Searching the content of messages

Pikka

Messages search function is of limited use: Date, From, To, Subject. Would it be possible to expand it to enable searching message content as well? Also, a flag placed next to the username would be very helpful. Please upvote if you agree with these suggestions.

OK, this suggestion has received seven upvotes so far. Is it enough to be considered for implementation?

Update: we are now nine upvotes strong and still waiting for a sign!
@Lawrence Is searching the message content technically feasible at the moment? Or adding flags, at least?

This has been implemented for messages received/sent, but not for the all messages section. I would be interested to hear feedbback about if this search is better/worse than before.

Hi @Lawrence! It definitely is an improvement - I used a few test cases including the work "polybags" and my own username. ;-) My ONLY suggestion is it would be awesome if the key word you input would be highlighted in the search results, but that might be super advanced to code (I have no idea). :-)

And well done, as always!!!!

Yes, it works great, thanks a lot! Other that that - what @Calibrick said.
