Offline Facebook Messenger chat search #45

Open riceissa opened 5 years ago

riceissa commented 5 years ago

Messenger's own search feature is pretty bad (can't search far back into history, matches common words I don't want to match, can't use regular expressions, etc.). I think it wouldn't be hard to write a script that uses the Facebook data export to search for messages.

I tried looking for something like this a while back but couldn't find anything.

i think the exports are somewhat better these days. i've also gotten better at storing things in more searchable places so haven't needed to look things up much in messenger.
