Search inside Talk App doesn't include talk messages #11130

The search inside the talk app (left sidebar) doesn't include the messages inside the chats. The big NC Search (upper right) does. That doesn't make any sense to me.

That's okay, it makes a lot of sense for a lot of other people.

A lot of chat apps only filter the conversation list in the beginning (like we do) and the full search is then only implemented later. I think we could change the placeholder message to "Filter"

When it's on purpose it's fine.

Just checked the android app. There the search also searches for messages. Don't you think that it at least should do the same?

Also it might make sense to have the chats appearing first and messages appearing underneath? It would at least be a helpful feature to be able to search for messages inside the talk app without having to use the global search. It doesn't feel very intuitive how it is imho.

No, because the Android app has only one search, while the web interface has a global/unified search in the top right, and the quick conversation filter with unread/mentions options in the top left.

That is something we could consider in the future, but not for now.

Apart from filtering existing conversations in the list, we're also performing an actual search for open conversations to join and users/groups/circles to create new ones. Maybe some of this fit better? Filter and search ... Filter and create ... Filter and explore ...

Hello,

It would be beneficial for the NextCloud Talk desktop app to include a search function for messages. Currently, this feature is only available in the web app via "universal search," leaving the desktop app without a similar capability.

Yes, we are aware of that and it's our daily pain 😅
