- Description: make it possible for users to search through a channel's history and show matching messages.
- Next steps: investigate web client UX, determine how much of that we want to mimic.
- The search facility provides various search qualifiers (like specifying messages in a specific channel or from a specific user). It would be good to help users be aware of and use these, either by providing a help description of them on any popup provided, or some other TBD technique.
- Click in the search box
- Present with modal prompt beneath the search box: "What are you searching for?" with "Messages" and "Files" as clickable buttons.
- Selection either button changes the modal box to show a table of search options, e.g., "FROM: Messages from a user"
Copying the separation between messages and files might be overkill, but one possibility is having a popup much like the /add-user command currently does, and replacing the suggestions or usernames with a listing of search options and descriptions.
