searching for messages from a person #810

Open setharnold opened 1 year ago

setharnold commented 1 year ago

Hello again, I'd like to search for all messages from a specific person and I'm not sure how to achieve it.

A query such as /search @somebody shows me all my coworkers saying good morning or goodbye to the named person but doesn't return any messages that they've sent.

Is there a way to see all the messages sent by somebody?

(There's also a second search window that appears when I dismiss the first one -- but even after six or seven minutes, it only ever says Searching ....)

Thanks

Isn't that /search from:somebody?

I'm sorry I missed your response, @nteodosio .

I have since learned that I was using the searching feature the wrong way around, and I believe they have made some changes to make it harder to misuse it: https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/25354

Thanks
