Prat needs a way to browse chats from the past.

This is a very nice IRC history view that includes search: https://botbot.me/freenode/go-nuts/

Maybe we can build something like that. We should probably stop using a Mongo capped collection at some point and switch to a permanent data store (or else use some method to spool out old messages to disk or something).

One issue with botbot.me is that it doesn't allow searching for a user's chats. (That is, I can search for bob and this returns all mentions of bob, but doesn't return the things bob said.) We should not have this limitation.
