search inside a room #258

find messages in a room in the room history

ec1oud commented 6 years ago

IMO this is urgent: it's the feature I miss the most from Quassel. So what's the plan, is it easy enough to get started by searching data which is already sync'ed, or does it need to involve some API to search on the matrix server side, or will searching stepwise backwards have to sync more data as it goes and then search it locally?

It actually is easy to implement searching within the cached messages. API calls for searching server-wide are also there (arrived recently) but that will need considerably more work on the results displaying side.

I'm curious if there was any progress on that front since 2018? I started using Quaternion recently, and that's the most obvious missing feature.

Github issues is not a good place to ask about progress. It's a good place to follow progress and tell about progress, but asking about progress is noise to the signal. The chat room would be a better place

This lack of a fundamental feature warrants a higher priority label than "enhancement".

I just installed Nheko and the room search function there is quite nice as it searches backwards in history and shows results as it finds them.

If this issue ever gets fixed I may give Quaternion another look, but not before then.
