This is so painfull, how find the word in conversations? I don’t understand why this essential tool is not working. Compare it with Mac Mail, so simple, just writing words and you can see them highlighted.

THIS EXISTS! When I use the keyboard shortcut CMD + F on Mac it jumps to the main search bar, and when you press CMD + F _again_ it searches within the selected conversation! I just found this feature TODAY... why has this feature request not been updated?

Hi , This is greatly needed. We have a chat channels which are very long and need it to scroll to searched word. Similar to searchable PDF's. I cannot get the CTRL + F to work on chat ?

Hi Philippe Lehoux . Curious if you guys are considering additional search functionality. Like others here I have been using missive for a long time and some of my one-on-one conversations with long-term employees are years long. Searching for something within one for these chats is basically impossible at the moment. If I search for a keyword / phrase etc, it will take me to a conversation but it doesn't take me to the point in time that I had conversation (about the keyword). We have started to move 'threaded' /topical conversations to their own conversations, however obviously that doesn't always happen.

Search text in thread

Hi, It could be a great to allow search a text in a specific thread and allow navigation from all occurrences of this text in this thread's different emails, collapsed or not.
Thanks in advance for that

You can at least use the "Find in view" option:
Adam Dobay
Philippe Lehoux: yep, this is a good workaround. I just have to remind myself that it's there, and when I press Ctrl+F, I should not be looking in the top right corner. :)

Philippe LehouxI'm not seeing this on my end.

Philippe LehouxDoes this only work on the desktop app? I don't see this option in browser

Just type the text you want to search for in the search bar and select "find in view". Isn't that you are after?

We're starting to use Missive as a project management tool with labels. Now more than ever do I wish conversations were searchable. They can get LONG!
Sam Boyd
Ryan Anstey: can you elaborate on how/why you're doing this? I can't imagine how an email client could act as a project manager, so I'm really curious about your use case.
Ryan Anstey
Sam Boyd: I guess it's not really the project manager itself, but it contains the chat threads for the tasks/tickets themselves.
Sam Boyd
Ryan Anstey: got it. That sounds similar to what we do then. We try to keep one long thread for all projects with the client. So these can be long, but we can integrate both system generated messages via API, as well as our staff communicating with the client all within a single thread.
It is interesting to hear that you're using tasks. It feels quite gimmicky to me as I found it hard to come up with a way to ensure accountability amongst users.
Ryan Anstey
Sam Boyd: I would say it started as tasks, but it's really just a label that contains all of the conversation element of the tickets or tasks we receive. All the work is done externally, but if we need someone's input, having it in Missive is a game changer.
